Summer is a wonderful time to enjoy delicious meals outdoors, full of fresh, vibrant flavours… and accompanied by who you love the most and of course by a good wine with the quality seal of Denominación de Origen Almansa! We tell you in this post, coinciding with the arrival of summer 2023, the pairing options that we propose with the wines of Denominación de Origen Almansa and which are ideal for pairing with your favourite summer recipes. Get ready to awaken your senses and take your meals to the next level!
Refreshing salads are a healthy and light option to combat the summer heat. If you are enjoying a tomato and mozzarella salad or an avocado and shrimp salad, we recommend pairing them with a verdejo white wine from the Almansa Designation of Origin. The young white wine, with its refreshing acidity and fruity notes, will perfectly complement the fresh flavors of your salads.
Fish and seafood are the true protagonists of summer cuisine. Whether with a seafood paella at the foot of the Mediterranean, with delicious fried anchovies or a shrimp ceviche …. a dry and fruity white wine is a sensational accompaniment! The Almansa Denomination of Origin has a wide range of white wines made with varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc that will enhance the marine flavors of your dishes.
With a barbecue and grilled meat, wines made with Garnacha Tintorera have no rival for this menu. If you are a lover of intense flavors and juicy meats in summer after passing the meat over the coals, the best option is to accompany it with any of our wines made from our native and most representative grape: the Garnacha Tintorera.

Also, remember that in case you want your menu to have grilled meat, you can opt for our wines made with the Monastrell grape variety, one of the most outstanding of our Almansa Denomination of Origin and with which our wines are getting important international recognition.
And end the evening with a good summer dessert. We cannot forget the sweet desserts that refresh us on any hot day in July or August. Therefore, if you are going to finish the meal with a lemon tart, a sorbet or a seasonal fruit salad, the sweet wine of Denomination of Origin Almansa will be a sensational way to surprise your guests and put the finishing touch to the menu. A sweet wine will always enhance the fruity flavors of your desserts and create a perfect harmony on your palate.
