Red Wine

There’s 1,000’s of red grape varieties grown around the world making a diverse range of wines.

Exploring the red wine world will take you from lighter more elegant wines to brash, bold wines.

There are infinite combinations of different colours, aromas, flavours, and, textures making for a lifelong pleasure fest for your senses.

A dozen varieties make up the majority of the red wines produced. Think Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and, Merlot.

Are travels to Italy, Spain, and, France have seen more Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Nerello Mascelese, Grenache, Carignan, and, Tempranillo red wines being poured into our glasses.

The wine world is producing better wines than ever before. In regions where laws permit broad experimentation with growing and making red wines is resulting in rapid evolution and refinement of styles.

In countries like Australia, cooler climate reds are really making a name for themselves.

Gobally, there’s been a welcome shift away for cumbersome, overripe, high alcohol, oaky wines, to red wines made with more restraint and freshness.

Our tip, celebrate the different personalities of each!

Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 2017

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 2017

Cracking example of Gevrey-Chambertin. There’s a theme through Louis Boillot’s wines of harmony, and, delicacy with intensity. Cracking example of Gevrey-Chambertin. There's a theme through Louis Boillot's wines of harmony, and, delicacy with intensity. The old iron fist in the velvet glove. The reduction Meadows noted is all but gone now and the fruit is showing fine form. A lovely shape to the palate with that true to domain plush, supple tannin. A wine of great precision and expression.

Giovanni Canonica Barolo 'Paiagallo' 2021

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Giovanni Canonica Barolo ‘Paiagallo’ 2021

The 2021 Barolo Paiagallo is a sensual beauty. Silky, aromatic and impeccably polished, the 2021 is a total knockout. It's a great example of what Barolo is today, a wine that can be enjoyed on release and not a tannic behemoth, like those of the past. Floral and spice overtones meld into a core of red and purplish-hued fruits. Elegant and light on its feet, the 2021 is a total delight.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 96 PointsWines like these are so rare that it is impossible to try them bef

Barale Barolo 'Monrobiolo di Bussia' 2019

Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont

Barale Barolo ‘Monrobiolo di Bussia’ 2019

A component that was previously blended into the Barolo del Barolo. A beautiful perfume lifts from the glass. An extra pop of perceived acidity makes for tannins with a playful edge to the mid-palate adding pleasure. Truffles, earthiness, darkness, with energy. Of the first three Barolos this will need more time to resolve. Serious gear. Winemaker’s hat on I can see why they separated. It will clearly give so much more with a few years in bottle.A presence yet sophistication of perfume a

François Villard Côte-Rôtie 'Gallet Blanc' 2022

Shiraz/Syrah from Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône

François Villard Côte-Rôtie ‘Gallet Blanc’ 2022

Deceptive intensity and depth on a transparent framework with superfine fruit of sophistication. A wonderful perfume lifts above. Delicate layers of complexing elements: spice, earthiness & woody herbs. Elegant & fine. Orange citrus & red fruit mingle seamlessly. Deftly developed showing the skilled touch Villard has.François looks at this wine as the Holy Grail! Delicious now, yet, with incredible ageing potential.François is making stunning wine.

Denis Mortet Marsannay 'Les Longeroies' 2022

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Denis Mortet Marsannay ‘Les Longeroies’ 2022

“The 2022 Marsannay Les Longeroies was cropped at 35hL/ha as the vines are naturally low cropping due to the limestone soils. With around 50% whole bunches, this has an attractive nose with brambly black fruit, sous-bois and a touch of Japanese nori. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. The 10% new oak is very judicious, and there’s a harmonious and persistent finish. A superb Marsannay.”Neal Martin, Vinous 91-93 Points"Aromas of plums, red berries and peony int

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo 'Castellero' 2021

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo ‘Castellero’ 2021

Fenocchio's Castellero comes from a cooler site east facing site. With similar soils to Cannubi. Darker fruited than Cannubi. Ripe, layered, nutty tannins, with an elegant, composed wine with a dark edge, lovely acidity support perfectly weighted core of fruit with a balanced richness. Claudio's preference is to harvest on the earlier side, whilst making sure the tannins are suitably ripe for the vintage. It shows here in the energey of fine texture of the wine.Tasting this alongside a 2019

A selection of 100% Sangiovese, grown in the oldest vineyards surrounding the estate (400 m MSL), is used exclusively in exceptional vintages to create Riserva Pian di Conte.The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pian di Conte is intense, with a burst of split pine, cedar shavings, dried flowers and mentholated herbs forming its smoky bouquet. This envelops the palate with silky textures and ripe wild berry fruits, taking on a flinty-mineral concentration that adds lovely depth toward

Voliero Brunello di Montalcino 2016

The sister to the Uccelliera brother, same winery, same maker, different fruit, and personality! Many who have tasted both the Uccelliera and Voliero Brunello over a number of years remark that they prefer the Uccelliera in the cooler years, and the Voliero in the bolder years. 2016 has somehow managed to make the choice a little harder.Give this just a little time to acclimatise to the world outside the bottle and you'll be greeted with welcoming arms.

Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 'Hauts Jarrons' 2022

Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru ‘Hauts Jarrons’ 2022

One of Leroux’s close friends owns these vines in the heart of the 1er Cru on the east-facing Beaune side of Savigny. The most elegant Savigny wines tend to come from this area, so it is perfect for powerful years. Like most Côte d’Or terrain, the soils are clay/limestone, but the clay is light and sandy. So, although there’s more flesh than in the village cuvée, there is also greater finesse. All the fruit was destemmed this year, and again, it is a wonderfully bright and juicy renditio

Cerbaiona Rosso di Montalcino 2022

A Brunello in all but name ... and, a bloody good one at that! The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is wonderfully perfumed, casting a blend of roses, violets and crushed blackberries. A stone dust hint adds lovely complexity. This is elegant in style and remarkably pure, showing depths of cherry-berry fruit guided by a wave of vibrant acidity. The 2022 leaves a salty, mineral flourish while tapering off long and gently tannic. Crisp in feel, with resonating blue and purple inner florals. This is alread

Red fruits florals detailed and fine clofoutis and spicy earthy deep fruit, there is some finely detailed florals and red fruits flowing into darker fruits, very classy.Super silky and mouth filling rounded tannins and length of fruit fine and impeccable balance and length, this will be very long lived and as a 1er cru the detail and finesse of the wine shines through.Drink 2035-204

Cerbaiona’s 2023 Rosso di Montalcino opens with bright forest berry fruit, pressed violet and a pretty spiciness that defines the vintage. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, balancing floral lift with fresh red and dark berry tones and a subtle savory edge.
