Whites with Depth
The last of the summer salads give way to bubbling gratins, buttery mash and the scent of something roasting in the oven. White wine still belongs at the table, especially when lunch is unhurried, and there’s a little autumn sunshine at the window.
Look for whites with rounded texture, ripe orchard fruit and a gentle touch of oak, alongside fresher styles with body and savoury complexity. This is about richness balanced by freshness: wines with presence, rather than simply more weight.
