As winter starts to fade and the lighter evenings creep in, March is the perfect time to refresh your wine choices. It’s that in-between season where we still want comfort, but we also start craving something fresher, brighter, and more food-friendly.
At Lightfoot Wines in Wentworth, South Yorkshire, March is one of the best months for discovering wines that suit spring meals, relaxed weekends, and small celebrations.
What Wines Are Best for March?
March is all about wines that feel lighter than winter reds, but still have enough character for hearty meals.
Some of the best wine styles for March include:
- Crisp, aromatic whites
- Lighter reds like Pinot Noir and Grenache
- Dry rosé (yes, already!)
- Sparkling wines for brighter evenings
Best White Wines for March
Sauvignon Blanc (Fresh, zesty, and reliable)
Sauvignon Blanc is a classic spring choice. It’s crisp, citrus-led, and pairs perfectly with salads, seafood, and goat’s cheese.
Albariño (A seafood favourite)
Albariño is one of the best whites for anyone who loves fish dishes. It’s aromatic, fresh, and brilliant with prawns, salmon, and sushi.
Picpoul (Crisp, light, and underrated)
Picpoul is a great alternative if you like Pinot Grigio but want something with more personality.
Best Red Wines for March
Pinot Noir (Soft, smooth, and food-friendly)
A great red for roast chicken, mushroom dishes, or a Friday night charcuterie board.
Grenache (Juicy and easy-drinking)
Grenache is ideal for pizza nights, pasta, and relaxed dinners – not too heavy, not too light.
Don’t Forget Rosé
Rosé doesn’t need to wait for summer. A dry rosé is a brilliant “first sunshine” wine and works with everything from tapas to roast chicken.
