More about autumn wines
Red wines for autumn
In autumn, powerful and velvety red wines take center stage, bringing warmth and depth to the glass. Wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, or Shiraz offer spicy fruit, firm tannins, and pair perfectly with meat, roasts, and pasta dishes.
White wines & cuvées for cooler days
White wines don’t have to be light in autumn: fuller, aromatic varieties such as Chenin Blanc, Viognier, or Chardonnay with a bit more body and spice are ideal companions for pumpkin risotto, baked mushrooms, or savory autumn salads.
Special autumn highlights
Discover autumnal cuvées, grape varieties with spicy notes, or red wines with subtle oak aging – they pair beautifully with traditional autumn dishes and bring color to any table.
Perfect pairings: Autumn dishes and wine:
- Pumpkin dishes & hokkaido squash → Chenin Blanc with fine acidity
- Game & lamb → Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz
- Mushroom risotto & creamy sauces → Viognier or Pinot Blanc
- Hearty stews & roasts → Pinotage or full-bodied red blends
