WHAT VINS RED FOR THE STATE?

In summer, whether it's aperitif, salad or grill, you often tend to think immediately of a rosé wine or a fresh white. However, if you tend to prefer red wines, know that it is quite possible to select light and pleasant red wines in strong heat.

Service temperature

In summer, the ideal service temperature is between 12 and 14 degrees. So remember to refresh your red wine to feel the full flavors (not just the alcohol it contains). Remove your ice bucket or place the bottle 30 minutes in the refrigerator before tasting. Especially as you need to know that with outdoor temperatures, your wine will tend to warm up very quickly

Some agreements

In summer, a fresh red wine blends very well with an aperitif board, cheese tray or grill.

Here are some recipes ideas that can marry beautifully with a lightly fresh red served:

• Tuna or salmon tataki
• Tomato salad with raw ham
• Mozzarella croquettes
• Grilled eggplant salad
• Cuvées to discover for the summer

Here are 3 red wines to discover and enjoy with your summer recipes:

NIEPOORT - DRINK ME - NAT COOL

Direction Barraida DOC name with niepoort 100% Baga. It is an innovative concept launched by Niepoort, where various producers have joined forces to create light and easy to drink wines.
The Nats Cools is naturally "cool and funky".

This wine offers a clear dress and a frank and expressive aromatic profile, full of freshness and floral notes. The characteristics of the Baga grape variety and the Bairrada region are obvious, with beautiful notes of strawberry, dried roses and some spices. Its mineral flavours recall limestone soils and the marked Atlantic climate. Fresh, direct and very seductive, this wine does not weigh on the palate and is drunk very easily by inviting us to have another drink.

The Nat Cool lends itself to many simple and light chords: beautiful plates of tapas of all kinds, carpaccios of meats, dishes of gratinous vegetables, a roasted chicken, and for the most gourmet of eggplants stuffed with lamb, olives of kalamata and fresh oregano, a treat!

JALLIET - WINE FLOWER

This organic French wine is blended with 90% Carignan and 10% Grenache black.

The ruby dress is very clear. The nose reveals very pleasant and intense aromas around red fruits, garrigues and Mediterranean spices. The aromatic intensity and greed of the flesh make it an ideal, easy and spontaneous boyfriend.

To taste with a cold tomato and goat pie accompanied by a salad.

VILLA TEMPORA - THE COPANINS D'ABORD

The cuvée "Les Copaines first" AOP Languedoc is characterized by a very light and very crisp mouth. This wine is perfect for summer to drink fresh. With a beautiful assemblage of morvèdre, syrah and grenache, reveals an expressive bouquet of notes of blackcurrant, cherry and cocoa. This cuvée is made to accompany your barbecue this summer!

To taste with a good tian of vegetables from the south or for the most gourmet a beautiful grilled tuna loin and olive oil with thyme citron!
