August is the month when the sun still hits hard, and all we want is something light, fresh, and fruity in our glass. While everyone else is busy posting vacation pictures on Instagram, we’d rather put a bottle of wine straight into the fridge. Because let’s be real — summer evenings without a chilled glass of white or rosé are like a beach without sand. Technically possible, but why would you?
Why August? Because summer is the perfect time to discover light, low-alcohol wines that go with grilled fish, a tomato salad, or late-night balcony talks until midnight. The proper glass of wine sometimes works better than air conditioning.
What makes our August wine selection special?
Direct import — no middlemen
We buy straight from small, family-owned producers. We visit the vineyards, talk to the winemakers, and hand-pick bottles that are not only delicious but also authentic. No mass production, no supermarket shelves.
Natural cultivation and biodynamics
This isn’t a marketing trick. Biodynamic French wines follow the rhythm of nature — no pesticides, no artificial chemicals, often aligned with the lunar calendar. The result? A purity of taste you can’t fake.
Domaine Adrien Berlioz – Alpine freshness from Savoie
Biodynamic white and rosé wines from a cool climate
Savoie might not be the first French region that comes to mind, but Domaine Adrien Berlioz produces wines so clean and fresh that they taste like bottled mountain air.
Style & terroir
Jacquère — crisp, citrusy whites with green apple notes. Mondeuse — reds and rosés with a delicate but distinct character. Thanks to the cool Alpine climate, these wines have high acidity and minerality, making them perfect for summer evenings.
Best pairings
Grilled shrimp, fresh leafy salads, or a plate of young cheeses. Add a glass of chilled Berlioz white, and suddenly you don’t even need the Alps to feel on vacation.
Domaine Bonnet Huteau – Muscadet freshness from the Loire Valley
Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is as close to the ocean as wine gets
Domaine Bonnet Huteau specializes in this crisp, mineral-driven wine that practically screams for seafood. If you’ve ever had oysters in France, chances are Muscadet was in your glass.
Certified organic
No pesticides, no additives — just pure nature. Each sip feels like cool morning air by the sea. If you’re looking for a summer wine that refreshes without overwhelming, this is it.
Best pairings
Seafood, salads, and light veggie dishes. But here’s the insider tip: Muscadet with fries. The salty crunch of potatoes paired with the crisp minerality of the wine equals pure magic.
Château les Croisille – Cahors with a lighter twist
Fresh Interpretation of Malbec
Known for its Malbec, Cahors typically produces wines that are deep, dark red. But Château les Croisille makes it differently: biodynamic, modern, elegant, and surprisingly light. This is a red you can even chill slightly — yes, red wine from the fridge works in summer.
Low sulfites
Thanks to biodynamic methods, these wines contain very little sulfur, making them cleaner and easier to drink — without the heavy next-morning effect.
Malbec for summer? Why not!
Forget the fireplace association. This lighter Malbec works beautifully with grilled eggplant, summer pasta, or soft goat cheese.
How to serve summer wines?
Temperature
Whites & rosés: chilled, 8–10°C.
Light reds (like Malbec or Mondeuse): slightly chilled at 12–14°C.
Too cold kills the aroma, so avoid overchilling.
Glassware
Slim glasses for whites and rosés, slightly wider for reds. Thin glass makes every sip taste better (and yes, it looks good on Instagram).
Food pairings
Grilled vegetables, seafood, fresh cheeses, and colorful seasonal salads. For dessert? Try serving with peaches or strawberries.
Hosting tip
No need to turn it into a formal tasting. Put out 2–3 bottles, some simple snacks, candles, and a playlist. Let your friends pick their favorites. Effortless and memorable.
