As the days grow longer and the evenings warmer, there’s a certain magic in dining outdoors—the sound of glasses clinking, the scent of fresh herbs wafting through the air, and the promise of great company. At the heart of any memorable summer soirée? A bottle of Swiftsure wine, a quintessentially Kiwi indulgence that encapsulates the season.
If you’re into whites…
Swiftsure’s Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a sun-soaked celebration in a glass. Bursting with tropical fruit notes, crisp citrus, and a herbaceous punch, it’s an undeniable match for summer’s lighter fare. Think freshly shucked oysters kissed with lime, a vibrant rocket salad dotted with goat cheese, or even grilled prawns with a touch of spice. Its crisp acidity and refined minerality provide the perfect counterpoint to these bright flavours, making every sip as memorable as the moment.
If you’re into reds…
For those enchanted by something a little richer, Swiftsure’s Central Otago Pinot Noir is the ideal transition as twilight falls. With its luscious berry-forward palate, whispers of smokiness, and a touch of umami, this wine brings depth and sophistication to alfresco dining. Pair it with a charcuterie spread or seared lamb cutlets, and watch your summer gathering ascend to new heights.
