September has arrived, but don’t say goodbye to summer just yet! There’s still sunshine and warmth to enjoy, perfect for outdoor dining with delicious seasonal wines. With a selection of over 800 wines in our Oundle stores, we have something for everyone. Check out some of my top picks
for this season:
Why not begin a late summer soiree, or pop a cork as the sun goes
down, with some sparkle? This lively, fruity fizz is authentically Italian and a great alternative to Prosecco.
Beppe Morchetta Vino Spumante, Italy £9.99
This red is my go-to for this time of year. It gives me Beaujolais or
Pinot Noir vibes, with its light juicy raspberry and cherry
flavours. I love it best served slightly cool, especially on
warm days or balmy nights, paired with pizza or a
charcuterie board.
Cantine Paolini Nerello Mascalese, Italy
£11.99

Have you ever tasted a wine from Bulgaria? If not, this is a great introduction. Each sip is like a burst of sunshine, with luscious apricot and peach flavours. A great match with chargrilled chicken, creamy pasta salads, or prawns. Chateau de Burgozone
Cote du Danube Viognier, Bulgaria £12.99
Every summer needs a bottle of rosé, and
this one flies off our shelves every year. It’s got all the summer fruit flavours of Provence Rosé, with
the same delicate pink colour, but at a snippet of price – a
real steal for summer!
Boutinot Cotes du Rhone Rosé, France Now £9.99
(Save £2.51)
And lastly, here’s something a bit unique. This lightly fizzy, low- alcohol, sweet and seductive red is just gorgeous with fresh strawberries or Eton mess. But be careful... it’s incredibly easy to drink!
Alasia Brachetto d’Acqui, Italy
£9.75 or 2 for £16
