UNUSUAL SUMMER WINES
Abeautiful bottle of wine can transform a boring day in the summer into a far more sophisticated and social occasion when shared with friends.
However, it can be slightly daunting when you walk into a supermarket or dedicated wine retailer and you are faced with walls and walls of bottles, without a clue of which to try.

Luckily, there are so many delicious wines which somehow taste even better in the summer.
Here are some slightly more unusual choices which you may have not sampled before.
Coto De Gomariz The Flower And The Bee Treixadura
If looking for a fine white wine to sample, then Coto de Gomariz The
Flower and the Bee Treixadura, from The Sourcing Table, is a great choice. Originating from the north-west Spanish region of Ribeiro, this summer wine boasts a gentle floral nose and an explosive tangy citrus fruit taste.
Ebner Ebenauer Gruner Veltliner
This 2017 white wine draws some similarities to Processo, but is unique enough to be a popular choice in its own right.
These bottles are filled with summer flavours, including dominating citrus notes, as well as dry and crisp touches.
Cinsault
If you are searching for a red wine instead, then a top choice is Cinsault, which is particularly ideal for those who would like a true flavour hit of fresh berries.
This floral and fruity mix is bursting with berry smells and tastes, with rose stem-like aromas that counterbalance the boisterous flavours.
Valpolicella
Another great option from the shelf of red wines is Valpolicella, which boasts a cherry and chocolate taste, with hints of cinnamon and oregano, including a herbal finish.
There is an even more chocolatey option available in Valpolicella Ripasso.
Miraval Provence Rose
Summer is known as rose season in the wine community, with one option being Miraval Provence Rose. Hailing from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Miraval estate in France, this wine boasts a fruity and floral flavour.
