NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR Seasons Change…….. Spring is one of our favourite times of year, with the lighter evenings and new exciting locally grown produce becoming more available. Easter is on the horizon and we look forward to catching up with friends and family, and this turns our minds towards what wines we will be drinking and sharing over the next few months. Most of our wine choices are influenced by what we will be cooking or eating, below is just a snap shot of what we will be enjoying – Spring Salads – Gruner Veltliner is a great alternative to Sauvignon Blanc and becoming increasingly popular with its easy drinking style and versatile nature in terms of food matching. It is a wine that pairs to Asian flavours and also asparagus which is notoriously hard to find a wine match for. The white and pink grapefruit notes in the wine mix with citrus running through and it finishes with its signature touch of white pepper. with its lemon and lime notes plus its trade mark acidity make for an enjoyable match particularly if there is any spice in the dish. The citrus notes in the wine also act like a squeeze of lemon or lime on the seafood. Rhubarb – The relatively tart flavour of rhubarb is often off-set by a nice sweet, nutty crumble topping. We like to pair this to a sweet Chenin such as a Coteau du Layon or Sauternes. The sweetness of the wine calms the acidity of the fruit and pairs to the crumbly topping nicely! New wines for Spring arriving in the shop include the latest 2018 rosé vintages, sparkling Petillant Naturels and some fantastic Hampshire sparkling wines from Cottonworth. Lamb – It’s always a treat to have new season lamb and it’s nice to pair up the delicate, sweet, gamey flavours with a nice red wine. We tend to choose a classic such as Rioja. When the wine is delicately oaked the juicy, fresh flavours along with a touch of vanilla from the barrel ageing make it an ideal match. Squid – Dan from Coral Bay seafood on Lymington market often has squid for sale at this time of year. It is quick and easy to cook and is delicious! Young, dry Riesling If you need any help with your food and wine matching this spring, pop into the shop, or send us an email for more bespoke advice!
