It’s ultimately down to your taste buds, but if you do want to add some flair to your summer eating, follow Barefoot’s ultimate guide to matching food with some of their favourite wines this summer.

Barefoot Pinot Grigio

Light-bodied and floral, Barefoot Pinot Grigio is a refreshing white wine with tart green apple, fruity citrus and peachy undertones that complement grilled fish and white meats perfectly, but why not push the boat out and serve it with a spicy pasta dish?

Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc

This popular dry white wine is bursting with notes of fruity honeydew melon, nectarine and peach. Hints of zesty lime balance the juicy pear. Fresh flavours like green vegetables, crisp apples, citrus fruits as well as pasta and even chips all go well with Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy a chilled glass of Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc with smoked salmon, salty oysters or a feta or goat’s cheese salad.

Barefoot Merlot

This popular classic is full of cherry, boysenberry and plum aromas. Enjoy the warm chocolatey, mocha finish with a smoky vanilla-oak after-tone. A medium-bodied Merlot is the most versatile out of the reds and can be paired nicely with all red, smoked and cured meats. For something a bit different, serve Barefoot Merlot with seared swordfish or tuna.

Barefoot White Zinfandel

Fruity White Zinfandel has fruity notes of peach, pears, strawberries and pineapple. As delicious on its own over ice as it is with a spicy Indian tandoori or a fragrant South East Asian curry, Barefoot White Zinfandel is also a great – and unexpected match – for salty bacon, grapes, mild cheese and cured meat.

Barefoot Buttery Chardonnay

Chardonnays have rich flavours and are easy to enjoy, but Barefoot’s Buttery Chardonnay takes it to the next level. This buttery chardonnay is creamy and smooth with delectable notes of vanilla, honeyed peach, and baked apple. It’s the perfect addition to meals which include soft and hard cheese, chicken, pork, salmon, shellfish and potatoes.

Fun, flavourful, and approachable, there is a Barefoot Wine for everyone. The range includes Barefoot Moscato, Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon, Barefoot Malbec, Barefoot Chardonnay, Barefoot Pink Pinot Grigio, Barefoot Buttery Chardonnay and Barefoot Pink Moscato alongside Barefoot Pinot Grigio, Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc, Barefoot Merlot and Barefoot White Zinfandel. Packed with big flavours and gorgeous aromas – there’s plenty to choose from!

Barefoot Wine is available from retailers nationwide, RRP £7.50.
