April is a fabulous time for wine in San Antonio. It’s all about flare for Fiesta! Wine Manager Craig Marsh of The Market at Stone Oak H-E-B brings us his picks for warm weather varietals that rock for this annual citywide celebration…
Gérard Bertrand cote des roses
Rosé
Dry | Crisp | Acidic
You’ll start seeing a number of rosés around this time. The Gérard Bertrand is a nice French rosé made from a mix of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah grapes. Easy drinking by itself or paired off with any seafood or buttery dishes.
LABOURÉ-ROI Mâcon-Villages
Chardonnay
Crisp | Clean | Fruity
The Mâcon-Villages is an unoaked chardonnay out of Burgundy, a special release, with layers of peach, apricot and green apple flavors along with some toasty notes. Food friendly for under $15.
Galadino Barbera d’Asti
Crisp | Clean | Fruity
Practically a table wine in the Piedmont region of Italy. Medium-bodied, bright and acidic with aromas of cherry and sweet spices on the nose that continue on the palate.
