Red Wines – Rich, spicy & silky

For winter evenings, red wines with depth and character are essential:

Portugal: Varieties like Baga, Alfrocheiro, Touriga Nacional, or Trincadeira offer intense dark fruit, elegant spice, and silky tannins. Perfect with slow-cooked meats, game, or hearty stews
South Africa: Cinsault Reserve or full-bodied Cabernet Franc show notes of plum, cinnamon, and chocolate – ideal for winter dishes and festive occasions.

These wines are warming and long-lasting, perfect for evenings by the fireplace or at a special dinner table.

White wines – Aromatic, spicy & complex

Auch im Winter dürfen Weißweine mehr Körper und aromatische Tiefe haben:

Portuguese varieties like Encruzado or Arinto dos Açores reveal complex aromas of toasted nuts, ripe pears, and subtle spice.
South African Viognier or Chardonnay impress with exotic fruit, hints of honey, and a silky texture – perfect with creamy dishes, root vegetables, or baked fish.

Properly served, they unfold their full elegance and warm up a winter evening beautifully.

Specialties & Dessert Wines

Sweet or fortified wines are perfect for winter celebrations:

Portuguese Madeira or Moscatel offers intense aromas of dried fruit, caramel, and spice.
South African Late Harvest Chenin Blanc delights with honeyed notes, apricot, and spicy sweetness – ideal with desserts, cheese boards, or simply as a dessert in a glass
