The Best Wines for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is the time to show your appreciation for the mother figures in your life and everything they do, but choosing a gift doesn’t have to be overwhelming. A bottle of wine is a great option to give to mum, whether she loves a glass of rosé, is a fan of fizz or prefers a bottle of red wine with dinner.
Choosing the Right Wine for Mother’s Day
Whether you’re celebrating with all of the family, having a quiet brunch with mum or sending her a gift to enjoy by herself, picking the perfect wine for Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be a daunting task.
Big celebrations with lots of family are a great opportunity for easy-going wines that can be enjoyed in the moment. Fruity rosés and crisp white wines are ideal with a quieter brunch celebration, while richer reds are a top choice for dinner with mum. If you’re celebrating from afar, why not send a bottle of her favourite wine, or something extra special to enjoy.
Make It Sparkle This Mother’s Day
Sparkling wines make great gifts for Mother’s Day, instantly making any celebration even more special. From bright and playful Italian Prosecco to delicious Aussie fizz, it’s a great way to add a touch of sparkle to the day.
For mums that love a classy, elegant fizz, why not get her a bottle of McPherson’s Bubbly Personality – a delicious Aussie sparkling wine made with grapes from Victoria’s Goulburn Valley and Strathbogie regions.
It’s hard to go wrong with Prosecco, especially Lustrato Prosecco. Delightfully creamy and bright with ripe peach, apple and pear flavours, this classic Italian fizz makes a great gift for Mother’s Day. It’s terrific on its own, with friends, conversation and laughter, and is delightful with lighter dishes. No need for ceremony, simply chill down, pop it open and enjoy!
Red Wines for Cosy Moments & Shared Meals
If bubbles aren’t her thing, a rich, warming red wine is always a winning choice. Here are a couple she’ll love:
Full-bodied, fruity and smooth, Black Duck Durif is an award-winning phenomenon! The 2024 vintage of this mighty red won an incredible six trophies and multiple Golds at wine competitions around the world, so you know it’s a proper powerhouse red. It’s big, bold and smooth, with layers of spicy fruit that make it a perfect partner for char-grilled steak or mature cheeses.
Split Rock Pinot Noir is a delicious tipple from New Zealand’s sunniest region, Nelson. It’s made by the pioneering Seifried family estate, which has racked up several awards since it was founded in 1973. Named after the striking Split Apple Rock in nearby Tasman Bay, this Pinot Noir is silky and mature, with oodles of juicy fruit and savoury spice that pair well with roast chicken or wild mushroom risotto.
Rosé Wines Perfect for Mother’s Day
Light, refreshing rosé is incredibly versatile and easy drinking. Here are some options that she’ll love:
The fruity, delicately pale-hued rosés of Provence have cemented themselves as some of the best pinks in the world, and for good reason. Roche Bellemont is certainly one to savour, with subtle berry fruit and creamy, floral hints that will transport you straight to the stunning Côte D’Azur.
For lovers of fresh rosés, Scarlet Ladybird is always an attractive choice with its charming flamingo pink colour, bright strawberry, rhubarb and tropical fruit, and floral hints. Winning multiple gold medals and earning rave reviews from wine critics around the world, this pink is sure to delight.
White Wines for Fresh, Easy Celebrations
And, if your mum prefers a crisp, refreshing white wine, these bottles will make the ideal Mother’s Day gift:
It’s hard to go wrong with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but not everyone gets it as right as Hole in the Clouds . It’s a Marlborough classic on top form, brimming with lush tropical fruit and invigorating citrus freshness. A treat on its own, it pairs well with baked salmon, barbecued prawns or Thai green curry.
Elegant, refreshing and vibrant, Spain’s Perla del Mar is full of delightfully fresh fruit and coastal character. Brimming with lime zest, lychee and tropical fruit, with sweet honeysuckle throughout it’s the archetypal summer white wine – all year round!
Premium Wines & Special Bottles for Meaningful Moments
If you’re marking something significant or want your gift to stand out, these wines offer a little more in terms of craftsmanship, provenance and presentation. They’re the kinds of bottles that feel memorable long after the day itself.
Mother’s Day is all about making her feel loved and appreciated, no matter how you celebrate. We’re sure she’ll love a heartfelt toast and a glass of wine she enjoys – after all, it’s the little things that make the day special.
