Insider Picks: Autumn Wines to Sip Right Now

As the evenings draw in and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing better than a glass of wine that fits the season. Just as summer had us reaching for bright rosés and fresh whites, autumn calls for something a little richer, a little deeper.
Word of mouth still goes a long way in the world of wine - and our team has plenty of recommendations to share. From velvety reds perfect for cosy nights in, to full-bodied whites that shine alongside autumn feasts, these are the bottles we’ll be uncorking as the leaves turn.
And here’s something to raise a glass to: when you spend £100, you’ll collect 3,000 bonus Avios. Simply use AUTUMN3K at checkout! T&C's apply.
So, whether you’re stocking up for dinner parties or simply want that perfect glass to enjoy fireside, sip well with our staff favourites this autumn.

My standout favourite this season is the Sunday Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Bursting with zesty citrus and tropical fruit notes, it’s a wine that’s as refreshing as it is versatile. I love how its bright, crisp character lifts everything from simple weeknight dinners to weekend gatherings.
For me, it’s the perfect match for autumn menus - think fresh seafood, creamy pastas, or even a roast chicken with seasonal veg. It’s easy-drinking, expressive, and delivers incredible quality for its price point.

Crémant De Limoux Cuvée Françoise Maison Antech holds a special place in my heart. I spent time in the South of France doing several harvests, visiting vineyards tucked into the rolling hills of Languedoc. Limoux, with its quiet charm and deep winemaking heritage, is where the traditional method sparkling wine was first crafted, long before Champagne claimed the spotlight.
This Crémant is a beautiful expression of that legacy. It’s elegant and refined, with delicate bubbles, crisp green apple, and hints of white blossom and toasted brioche. There’s a mineral edge that speaks of the region’s limestone soils, and a freshness that makes it endlessly drinkable.

Lately, I’ve been reaching for The Beach by Whispering Angel Rosé. It’s a crisp, light rosé with delicate red berry and floral notes - perfect for easy drinking and versatile enough for any occasion. Its refreshing, bright character makes it a standout for those who love a lively, elegant rosé.
I enjoy pairing it with fresh fish, herby chicken, or autumn salads, and it also works beautifully with lighter pasta dishes or simply on its own. It’s a quality, no-fuss bottle that any rosé lover will appreciate.
