Looking for refreshing white wines to go along with these warm spring days? Easy drinking and light in alcohol, these are the wines that will save your wallet but deliver the flavours you seek for the spring and outdoor parties: citrus and green fruits, tonic freshness and minerality at the best price!

These varieties are ideal for making easy-drinking, low in alcohol, succulent and refreshing white wines. But this doesn’t make them superficial or easy to make.
Let’s find out what these wines bring to the table and how.
