Cosy Up With Wine This Autumn
Autumn is a season that brings a distinct change in the air. With the cooling temperatures and the falling leaves, it's the perfect time to cosy up with a glass of wine. Wine is a versatile drink that can be enjoyed in any season, but there's something special about sipping on a rich, warm, and full-bodied wine during autumn.
The autumn season calls for wines that are hearty, comforting, and full of spice and fruit flavours. A great place to start exploring autumn wines is with red wines. Reds are perfect for the season because they tend to be full-bodied and warming, with rich tannins and flavours of ripe fruit, herbs, and spices. One type of red wine that is perfect for autumn is a Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is known for its full-bodied taste and bold flavours, which make it an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes like stews, roasts, and meats. The tannins in Cabernet Sauvignon also pair well with the flavours of autumn spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
Another great autumn wine is Pinot Noir. This wine is a bit lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon but still has rich, fruity flavours that are perfect for the season. Pinot Noir is a great wine to pair with dishes like roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto, and roasted chicken. The wine's subtle notes of vanilla, cherry, and spice can help to enhance the flavours of the dish.
If you're looking for a white wine to enjoy during autumn, Chardonnay is a great option. This wine has a full-bodied taste and rich, buttery texture that makes it an excellent accompaniment to autumn dishes like a roast, pumpkin risotto, and creamy soups. Chardonnay also has flavours of apples, pears, and citrus, which make it a perfect wine to sip on while enjoying the autumn scenery.
Finally, one cannot forget about sparkling wines. While often thought of as a summer drink, sparkling wines like Champagne and Prosecco are perfect for autumn as well. The bubbles in these wines are a refreshing and playful addition to the hearty autumn dishes. They are also a great option for outdoor autumn gatherings, like picnics and bonfires.
Autumn is the perfect season to enjoy a glass of wine. The rich and full-bodied flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, the buttery texture of Chardonnay, and the playful bubbles of sparkling wines like Champagne and Prosecco make them the perfect accompaniments to autumn dishes and activities. So, cosy up with a glass of your favourite wine and enjoy the season. Cheers!
