Summer2016
The new season brings with it a new menu, lighter fare and Mediterranean flavours to match the (hopefully) balmy days of a beautifully British summer. Here we’ve compiled a mouth-watering selection of wines and spirits suited to warmer days and waterside picnics, longer evenings and al fresco apéritifs.
Apéritifs
Take advantage of longer twilight hours with palate-piquing whites, moreish Amontillado and our essential spirits for the cocktail hour.
Sparkling Wines and Champagne
We need little excuse to open a bottle of something sparkling, but, if we did, summer provides plenty of reasons, with picnics, parties and celebratory sunshine.

Summer Whites
From crisp and crunchy Sauvignon to rich and rounded Meursault, these whites are crying out for English asparagus, freshly caught fish and a crowd of thirsty guests.
Rosés
This blushing bunch signals the start of summer. Light, bright and berry-laden they lend themselves to apéritif o’clock and the season’s lighter fare.

Lighter Reds
From Beaujolais to Barbera, these exceedingly appealing reds are perfectly suited to light lunches, outdoor picnics and sipping on their own.
Full-bodied Reds
Menus don’t turn totally meat-less with summer, whether spiced and roasted or basted and barbecued, these reds will stand up to bolder flavours.
