From zesty Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling to refreshing Pinot Grigio, Provence style rosé, sparkling wine and silky Pinot Noir, this is your destination for first day of spring wines delivered to your door.
Crisp white wines
Fresh, zesty and bright, white wines are a natural fit for spring. Look for Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Vermentino and Semillon when you want a bottle that pairs beautifully with prawns, oysters, grilled fish, citrus dressed salads and soft cheeses.
Rosé wines
Rosé is made for the first day of spring. Dry, pale and refreshing styles suit alfresco lunches, antipasto, charcuterie, grilled halloumi, watermelon salad and spicy dishes. Keep a few bottles chilled for effortless entertaining.
Sparkling wines
Nothing says new season energy like bubbles. Choose sparkling wine, Prosecco or sparkling rosé for brunch, celebrations, gift giving or that first warm evening on the balcony.
Lighter red wines
Spring reds should feel fresh rather than heavy. Pinot Noir, Grenache, Gamay style blends and lighter Shiraz are delicious served slightly chilled and poured with barbecue chicken, salmon, mushrooms, lamb cutlets or tomato based dishes.

If you are buying wine online for 1 September, plan around how you will be enjoying it. For daytime gatherings, choose lighter alcohol styles, dry rosé, crisp whites and sparkling wine.
