3 Essential Fall Wines To Savor This Season

Can you believe that summertime is finally coming to an end? Before we know it, the cool air and cozy atmosphere of fall will settle in, making it the perfect season to enjoy time with your friends and family. But did you know that this change of the season also signals a change in the varieties of wine that you should savor? Just like how summertime is synonymous with sipping rosé champagnes, the fall season is best enjoyed when drinking these 3 wines:

1. Grenache

Popularly grown across Spain and in France’s Rhône Valley, Grenache grapes are renowned for the unique flavors that they contribute to the wine that they are made into. Grenache wines are often of the red variety, and they boast a vivid flavor profile that perfectly compliments the cool fall weather. One notable characteristic of Grenache wines is their spice-filled undertones, which often resembles the taste of dried herbs and spices. These herbaceous notes combined with the pleasantly tart base of Grenache wine offers a wonderful escape from the sweet wines of the summer season. Our recommendation for a stellar Grenache wine to try this fall is the Companion Wines Grenache, which exudes hints of cinnamon and plum.

2. Pinot Noir

One of the most highly-regarded grapes among vintners and enthusiasts alike, pinot noir grapes are made into wonderfully complex wines that intrigue and impress. This red wine variety boasts a distinct flavor profile that is bursting with a cornucopia of fruits such as raspberries, cherries, and blackberries. Pinot noir wines are renowned for their silky texture, which makes every sip one to savor. This wine is especially suitable for the fall season because of how well it pairs with many traditional autumn meals, such as roasted duck and veal. A pinot noir wine that has gained a lot of popularity among our staff is the Companion Wines Carneros Pinot Noir, a bold wine that has dominant fruit flavors with undertones of tobacco.

3. Chardonnay

Chardonnay grapes are among the most popular grapes grown in the world, and for good reason. Chardonnay can take on a variety of different flavors depending on how it’s made, so there’s always something for everyone to enjoy. Unoaked chardonnays, which often have a pale yellow coloring, feature a citrus-filled flavor profile that exudes notes of tart fruits such as apples and pears. Oaked chardonnays that originate from areas with warmer climates have subtle notes of butter and wheat thanks to the differences in the aging process. The Companion Wines Yellow Star Chardonnay, an unoaked wine that has a delicate balance between meringue and citrus flavors, is a wine that we consistently come back to every fall season to enjoy, and we think that you will love it too.
