Spring Sips: Light Wines to Celebrate the Season
As spring unfolds, bringing with it blooming flowers and warmer days, it’s the perfect time to refresh your wine selection with lighter, more vibrant choices. Whether you’re planning a picnic, a garden party, or simply enjoying a quiet evening on the patio, the right wine can elevate your experience. GEN 7 Wines offers a curated selection of micro-produced wines that capture the essence of spring.
Why Light Wines Are Ideal for Spring
Spring is synonymous with renewal and freshness. Light-bodied wines, often characterized by their crisp acidity and delicate flavors, complement the season’s lighter fare and outdoor gatherings. They are versatile, refreshing, and perfect for sipping as the days grow longer.
Top GEN 7 Wines to Enjoy This Spring
GEN 7 ART Series Contortionist Sparkling Rosé
Celebrate spring with the GEN 7 ART Series Contortionist Sparkling Rosé. With its beautiful pink hue, delicate bubbles, and fresh notes of strawberries and cream, it’s a refreshing choice for any occasion. Its crisp, elegant profile pairs perfectly with grilled shrimp, strawberry-topped salads, or creamy cheeses like brie. Whether toasting to new beginnings or savoring a sunny afternoon, this sparkling rosé brings effortless sophistication to every moment.
2022 ART Series The Seductress Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is a testament to balance and elegance. With subtle hints of crisp fresh pear and apple blossom aromas, it offers a rich mouth feel with ripe golden apple flavors and hints of Meyer lemon. Ideal for pairing with miso beurre blanc butterfish or with slices of aged Parmigiano Reggiano over a bed of wild arugula with a squeeze of lemon and extra virgin olive oil.
Vaché “1832” 2016 Zinfandel Premium Reserve
Bold yet beautifully balanced, the GEN 7 Vaché “1832” 2016 Zinfandel is a standout selection for spring evenings that call for depth and complexity. Aromas of ripe blackberries and bramble fruit rise from the glass, intertwined with warm notes of cinnamon and baking spices. On the palate, rich layers of chocolate-covered cherries and juicy blueberries meet subtle hints of brown sugar and toasted pecan. The finish is long, velvety, and satisfyingly smooth—anchored by soft, round tannins.
2019 Muscat Blanc Reserve
Bright, aromatic, and irresistibly elegant, the 2019 Muscat Blanc Reserve is a true celebration of spring’s freshness. This beautifully crafted wine opens with vibrant notes of white peach, juicy pear, and golden pineapple, creating a symphony of fruit-forward flavors. Its smooth, refreshing mouthfeel makes it the perfect companion to a variety of pairings—think artisanal cheeses, a spread of dried fruits and nuts, or a slice of lemon meringue pie.
2020 Pinot Noir Reserve
For those who prefer reds, a light-bodied Pinot Noir is a great spring choice. GEN 7’s 2020 Pinot Noir Reserve offers cherry and raspberry notes with a touch of earthiness. It’s versatile enough to pair with a range of dishes, from roasted poultry to mushroom risotto.
