Summer calls for light, versatile wines served chilled. At this time of year, most of us want to relax, enjoy a good glass of wine, some appetizers and a good dose of sunshine... all in moderation, of course!

How to choose your wine in summer?

The longer days and warmer temperatures of summer can make you want to cool off with a glass of wine, but you have to choose well! So, how do you select the wines that will please you the most during these hot and relaxing moments?

You can do it by color, and in this case we recommend a nice, light, fresh and pleasant rosé like our DOM DIOGO PADEIRO. Imagine enjoying a glass of chilled rosé with friends by the pool, by the sea or with some appetizers. DOM DIOGO PADEIRO is the perfect wine to celebrate sunny days and to ensure its freshness, don't forget to chill it a little beforehand and then put it in a bucket of ice to prevent it from warming up under the sun's rays.

If you prefer red wines, we have the king of the barbecue for you!!! Our DOM DIOGO VINHÃO, a red wine with a deep color but full of freshness, which is perfect to accompany grilled meats and should be served at a temperature between 12 and 14°C.

However, the undisputed king of summer is white wine. Our whites, with their natural freshness, are perfect for the hottest days. Their versatility is incredible and they can be sipped in more relaxing moments or accompany your appetizers perfectly, especially if they involve seafood. You won't believe how well our QUINTA DA RAZA GOUVEIO goes with a nice plate of barnacles.
