5 New Wines to Try this Summer!
Five fresh white-wine picks from recent additions to Harvest Wine Shop.
A good summer white should fit the food, the weather, and the people around the table. These five bottles move from a light, gently fizzy Italian blend to a more textured Spanish white, with plenty of fresh fruit, acidity, and character along the way. Every featured bottle is part of our store selection.
1. Elvio Tintero Vino Bianco (MV) · Piedmont, Italy
Light, fresh, and gently effervescent, this is the easygoing opening pour. Favorita, Moscato, Arneis, and Chardonnay give the blend citrus, orchard fruit, and floral notes without making it heavy.
At the table: Pour it with a first round of snacks: olives, popcorn, charcuterie, a green salad, or fried chicken. Its modest 11.5% alcohol and lively style make it a useful choice for a relaxed lunch.
Serving tip: Serve well chilled.
2. Bedrock Wine Co. Sauvignon Blanc 2025 · Sonoma Valley, California
For a Sauvignon Blanc with freshness and texture, start here. White peach, guava, and citrus notes meet a silky mouthfeel, with stainless steel preserving energy and oak contributing shape.
At the table: Try it with grilled fish, chicken with herbs, or a salad with citrus and fresh goat cheese. It has enough presence for a meal while keeping a bright finish.
Serving tip: Serve chilled, then let the glass warm a little as you eat.
3. Alexander Zahel “Retzer Land” Gemischter Satz Alte Reben 2025 · Austria
This Austrian old-vine field blend brings together six varieties, including Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. The grapes are co-fermented, bringing their fruit and texture together in a single wine. Expect peach, apricot, floral and herbal notes, with juicy acidity.
At the table: Put it alongside schnitzel, fried chicken, grilled vegetables, or a plate of cheeses and cold meats. We like a textured, medium-bodied white like this when everyone is sharing different dishes.
Serving tip: Serve cool, around 46–50°F.

4. Frank Cornelissen “Susucaru” Bianco 2024 · Sicily, Italy
Catarratto Extra Lucido, Carricante, and Grecanico Dorato come from Alcamo and Etna in this Terre Siciliane white. Lemon, green apple, flowers, herbs, and a salty finish give it an energetic, food-friendly character.
At the table: Try it with fried calamari, grilled seafood, roast chicken, or soft cheeses. The brisk finish is especially welcome with something crisp and salty from the kitchen.
Serving tip: Serve chilled, around 48–52°F.
5. Venus La Universal “Dido” Blanc 2023 · Montsant, Spain
For the richer end of the table, Dido Blanc offers texture without sacrificing freshness. This Macabeu-led blend also includes Garnatxa Blanca and Cartoixà, another name for Xarel·lo. White flowers, peach, herbs, and smoky, nutty notes meet a chalky, savory core.
At the table: This is our pick for grilled fish with romesco, roast chicken, or aged Manchego. A portion of the Macabeu sees skin contact, and aging in neutral wood adds another layer of texture.
Serving tip: Serve cool, around 50–55°F; a little warmth helps its aromas open.
Build a flight or find your favorite
Start with Tintero for the lightest, liveliest pour, then explore Sauvignon Blanc, an Austrian field blend, a Sicilian white, and a textured Montsant blend. You can also pick one bottle to match dinner instead of opening a full flight.
