Bright & Elegant Whites for Spring

Picpoul de Pinet, Domaine Morin Langaran (Languedoc), 2022

A crisp and refreshing choice, this Picpoul de Pinet from the Languedoc region is bursting with citrus, green apple, and floral notes. Its lively acidity makes it a fantastic pairing for seafood dishes, asparagus, and light salads—ideal for those observing a pescatarian Good Friday.

Estate Reserve White (Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc), Noble Hill Estate (Simonsberg-Paarl), 2022

This beautifully balanced organic white from South Africa brings a delightful mix of fruit and floral notes, with a rich, textured palate. It’s a fantastic match for roasted poultry, creamy pasta dishes, or even a vegetarian Easter spread.

Les Hauts d’Artigny, Chenin Sec, Levures Indigènes, Touraine Amboise, Domaine Plou et Fils (Loire), 2022

A dry Chenin Blanc with lively acidity and notes of pear, quince, and citrus, this Loire Valley gem is an excellent all-rounder. Whether you’re serving glazed ham, roast pork, or a selection of spring vegetables, this wine will complement the meal beautifully.

Crozes-Hermitage Blanc, Fayolle Fils & Fille (Rhône), 2023

For those looking for something a little more complex, this Rhône Valley white wine is a luxurious choice. Aromas of white flowers and stone fruits are balanced by a silky, elegant palate, making it a superb companion to roasted chicken, turkey, or even a creamy mushroom risotto.

Reds to Complement Easter Lamb & More

Fleurie, Coeur du Granit, Château de Chénas (Beaujolais), 2021

A light yet flavorful red, this Fleurie is an excellent choice for those who prefer a softer, fruit-forward wine. With bright red berry flavors and delicate floral notes, it pairs wonderfully with glazed ham, roast lamb, or even a cheese platter for a casual Easter gathering.

Château La Gravière, Lalande-de-Pomerol (Bordeaux), 2019
