Wines for Spring
Spring is a beautiful time to enjoy a glass of wine. It’s the season of fresh starts and new beginnings, ideal for discovering a new favorite bottle. With nature’s color and a floral scent in the air, light wines complement the season perfectly.
AJA Vineyards releases new white wines every spring, including several that are wonderful for a spring evening or brunch:
- Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara Sauvignon Blanc
- Malibu Coast Sauvignon Blanc, Eds’ Vineyard
- Paso Robles Wildflower Rosé
- Central Coast Chardonnay
Food Pairings
A glass of wine is even better with the right pairing:
- Rosé: enjoy it with a salad, lobster, salmon, a charcuterie platter, or grilled vegetables.
- Chardonnay: cacio e pepe pasta, crab, grilled chicken, scallops, and a salad all complement Chardonnay beautifully.
- Sauvignon Blanc: consider clams, goat cheese, halibut, or grilled chicken alongside it.
Tips for Choosing the Right Wine
There are many ways to choose a wine for spring. If you prefer something light and refreshing, try a white like our Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc or our Wildflower Rosé. Wines like our Cabernet Sauvignon and other reds suit those who like bold, daring flavors instead. If you’re unfamiliar with wine, taste-testing different bottles with friends at home, or visiting a tasting room, is a great way to discover flavors and varieties you may not have tried. Don’t be afraid to experiment, and once you find a couple of styles you love, try pairing them with different foods.
