Wine critic Alf Tumble has curated a list of wines designed to help drinkers savor the last moments of summer. The selection features a range of bottles, from a crisp German Pinot Gris to robust Italian and French reds, all chosen for their ability to evoke warm-weather enjoyment.

Among the recommendations is the Juwel Grauburgunder 2025 from Germany's Rheinhessen region. Described as a "jewel," this Pinot Gris is praised for its refreshing fruit and acidity, making it an ideal "house wine" for those seeking a thirst-quencher. It joined the permanent assortment on September 1st.

For those who prefer red, the Bosquets Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Ségure 2025 from France offers a fruity profile with notes of lavender, bay leaf, and licorice, perfect for pairing with grilled dishes. Similarly, the La Piade Vinsobres 2024, a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsaut, is noted for its dark fruit character balanced by herbal notes, suitable for extending summer meals into autumn.

Italian selections include the L’Archetipo Niuru Maru Negroamaro 2024 from Salento, described as a "little greeting from Italy's heel," offering juicy, bluer-red fruit and spice. The Giovanni Rosso Etna Bianco 2025 from Sicily presents a vibrant, melon-fruity interpretation of the Carricante grape with a subtle minerality, positioning itself as an accessible entry into the increasingly popular volcanic white wines of Etna.

South Africa's Groote Post Seasalter Sauvignon Blanc 2025 from Darling is highlighted for its saline, mineral character, with notes of gooseberry, lime, and grass, evoking coastal imagery. Finally, the Montepeloso A Quo 2024, a "super Tuscan light" blend from Tuscany, is recommended as the perfect pizza wine, featuring clear cherry fruit and a fine structure.
