Untitled Document Autumn wines are a smart purchase because most vineyards switch over to a new harvest in the fall, wholesalers and retailers greatly discount existing stock. Your pound will go a lot further with your wine purchase at this time of year.

Even if you don’t generally tend to buy wine, an autumn wine can make an excellent inexpensive gift, or you can stock up for later dinners or events. Better yet, put your autumn wine purchases to use this season!

Unsure which wines to pick? Check out the top 7 best opportunities to drink autumn wines blow!

1. ENJOY THE LAST BRIGHT AFTERNOONS

Fall cues the last nice afternoons with enjoyable temperatures. This is the season to enjoy your final garden sundowners before winter sweeps in!

Take advantage with an excellent autumn wine – such as this Crémant de Limoux NV – which provides freshness and bubbles, but this time with more structure and elegance following the season changing!

2. HOST A FORMAL FALL GATHERING OF FRIENDS

Autumn is the perfect time to gather together friends for a dinner party with wine. Moreover, timing your party in the fall will beat the stress and competition of the overloaded Christmas season.

The perfect autumn wine for such an event would be a glass of this Crémant de Limoux Rosé NV. The lovely pink touch provides a bright element and softens the atmosphere with its delicate tender foam character.

This autumn wine will bring a touch of glamour and sophistication to any event.

3. PAIR YOUR SEASONAL DISHES WITH FLAIR

Fall is associated with foods like mushrooms, chestnuts, truffles, parsnips, pumpkins, and figs. Your autumn wine will ideally adapt to these rich and seasonal flavours.

Our velvety and concentrated 14" target="_blank">Felin Noir from Languedoc
is an excellent autumn wine choice for expert pairings. The same goes for this Marchesi di Barolo Riserva, 2004 – an especially excellent match for a white truffle dish during a special dinner.

4. PLAN A CASUAL SPORTS-CENTRED PARTY

Sometimes, the focus is on your favourite team, and your autumn wine should simply provide backup. When hosting a casual event, like a major football match, you need a wine to be enjoyable on its own and easy to pair with snacks.

Two of the best suggestions for fun, fresh autumn wines are this Saumur Blanc “Elegance” (with lemony, crispy notes and refreshing character), and this Ntisu Rosso, 2012 because of its lightness, featuring floral and young fruit flavours.

5. PULL OFF A SUNDAY MEAL SHOW-OFF WITH YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY

Do you have tough-to-impress in-laws, or maybe you’ve set the bar extremely high in past years. Regardless of the reason, planning a successfully impressive Sunday meal is simple with the right autumn wine.

The Les Demoiselles de Larrivet Haut Brion, 2011 from the famous Bordeaux region will blow them away with class and quality at a reasonable price. You cannot go wrong with this traditional choice – the palate is round and well balanced by silky tannins, with no harshness or bitterness.

6. INDULGE YOURSELF

You’ve worked hard and played hard all summer long. This fall, you deserve a break. Treat yourself one evening with easy comfort food and an excellent autumn wine.

Pull out any leftover cheeses, chutneys, honey, crackers, and bread and arrange them on a board.

Have a planned-ahead purchase of this Blanquette de Limoux Methode Ancestrale, the perfect match of sweetness and palate-cooling fresh bubbles for your lazy and well-deserved night in.

7. BRING YOUR HOLIDAYS HOME WITH YOU

After spending summer days lying on the beach, sipping rose, watching the waves, it can be tough to come back to your fall routine.

It’d be pretty hard to transport the sand and blue sea with you back home, but you can definitely bring your favourite rose into the fall.

An excellent choice for a summery autumn wine – this Colette Rosé of Côtes de Provence has a pleasant approach with strawberry notes, as well as a pink melony option that is always easy to match.
