Perfect Summer Wines: Our 2025 Collection
As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, few things feel more fitting than a chilled glass of wine shared with friends on a shaded patio. With that in mind, the 2025 Summer Collection at RoxyAnn Winery has been thoughtfully curated to highlight the season’s best qualities. This handpicked lineup includes refreshing whites, a bright rosé, and two lighter-bodied reds—all selected to complement the relaxed, sun-soaked pace of summer.
Whether a picnic is being planned, dinner is being served al fresco, or a sunset gathering is underway, the wines in this collection have been designed to elevate every warm-weather moment. Each bottle has been described below with tasting notes, ideal food pairings, and recommendations for how best to enjoy them during the summer season.
2023 Pinot Gris
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of pear, green apple, and citrus zest rise from the glass, followed by crisp flavors of lemon, white peach, and a hint of wet stone. A clean finish with lively acidity makes this Pinot Gris exceptionally refreshing.
Pairing Suggestions:
This wine pairs beautifully with summer salads, grilled shrimp, ceviche, and goat cheese. When paired with lemon-herb chicken or roasted asparagus, its zesty notes are further enhanced.
A Summer Wines Must-Have:
This wine works so well for warm weather because of its bright acidity and light body. This Pinot Gris is absolutely ideal for hot days or enjoying poolside! It can be served well-chilled and sipped outdoors without overpowering lighter summer fare like a tasty cold pasta salad or some grilled fish.
2023 Viognier
Tasting Notes:
Rich aromatics of honeysuckle, ripe apricot, and jasmine give way to a textured palate filled with stone fruit, honey, and a subtle floral lift. A medium body and balanced acidity round out the experience.
Pairing Suggestions:
Grilled peach and burrata salad, spicy Thai curry, or herbed pork tenderloin are all excellent matches. It also pairs well with aromatic cheeses like brie or camembert.
Why We’re Loving It For Summer:
Viognier’s floral and stone fruit characteristics make it a perfect complement to fresh, fragrant summer dishes. It is best enjoyed slightly chilled for optimal flavor.
Non-Vintage Rosé
Tasting Notes:
This dry rosé opens with aromas of strawberry, watermelon, and rose petal. On the palate, vibrant flavors of cranberry, pink grapefruit, and white cherry lead to a crisp, mouthwatering finish.
Pairing Suggestions:
Charcuterie boards, grilled salmon, caprese salad, and summer rolls all shine alongside this rosé. It is also perfect with a simple tomato and basil bruschetta.
Why You’ve Got To Have It:
Its refreshing acidity and light, fruity character make it a quintessential summer wine. It’s well-suited for picnics, poolside sipping, and casual gatherings.
2022 Claret
Tasting Notes:
A softer red blend with aromas of plum, red currant, and cedar. The palate delivers flavors of black cherry, baking spice, and subtle vanilla, all wrapped in a smooth, approachable finish.
Pairing Suggestions:
This Claret pairs well with grilled pork chops, mushroom risotto, or a turkey burger topped with caramelized onions. Even when lightly chilled, it retains its structure and balance.
Why It Is Working For Summer:
Unlike heavier reds, this Claret’s medium body and rounded tannins allow it to be enjoyed during warmer months, especially when slightly cooled to cellar temperature.
2022 Tempranillo
Tasting Notes:
Notes of dried cherry, tobacco, and leather are complemented by hints of blackberry and spice. A moderate acidity and silky tannins give this Tempranillo a well-rounded feel.
Pairing Suggestions:
Ideal with grilled meats, paella, or roasted red pepper dishes. For a summer-friendly approach, serve it with lamb skewers or a smoky vegetable platter.
A Summer Wine Favorite For Red Lovers:
Tempranillo’s earthy complexity adds depth to grilled fare without overwhelming it. This wine holds up to bold flavors yet remains drinkable on warm evenings.
