As the temperatures drop in Cyprus and the leaves change color, it’s the perfect time to explore wines that pair beautifully with the heartier flavors and cozier moments of autumn. At La Maison du Vin, our carefully curated selection includes a variety of autumn wines that will elevate your seasonal dining experiences. Whether you’re hosting a harvest dinner or enjoying a quiet evening by the fireplace, here are some of our top picks for fall.
Autumn is synonymous with earthy, warming dishes, and nothing complements them better than full-bodied red wines. These wines bring depth and complexity that perfectly balance richer meals like roasted meats, stews, Kleftiko, and casseroles.
While red wines often steal the spotlight in cooler months, bold white wines can also shine in the autumn season. Opt for whites with a little more body and richness to stand up to the hearty flavors of fall.
Chardonnay: A lightly oaked Chardonnay offers a perfect balance of creaminess and acidity. Its notes of butter, vanilla, and baked apple make it an ideal companion to roasted chicken, butternut squash soup, or pumpkin dishes. Click here for our Chardonnay Suggestion
Viognier: With its floral and tropical notes, Viognier offers a lush texture and a hint of spice. Pair it with creamy sauces, seafood chowder, or spiced roasted squash for a delightful autumn match. Click here for our Viognier Suggestion
Gewürztraminer: This aromatic wine, with its slightly sweet and spicy character, is a perfect match for fall flavors. It pairs beautifully with spiced pork, pumpkin ravioli, and dishes featuring cinnamon, ginger, or cloves. Click here for our Gewürztraminer Suggestion
Rosé isn’t just for summer. A well-chosen, fuller-bodied rosé can carry you through autumn, providing a refreshing yet substantial option for those warmer fall days.
Autumn is filled with gatherings, from harvest festivals to Thanksgiving dinners, and sparkling wine is always a crowd-pleaser. A sparkling wine can bring a touch of celebration to any autumn event.
Prosecco DOC Zardetto : Light and fruity, Prosecco adds a bit of effervescence to your autumn aperitifs or desserts. Try it with appetizers like prosciutto and figs or a creamy pumpkin pie.
