Varietal

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!

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo 2018

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello. The 2018 M8 is a blend of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte & Serralunga fruit! "Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Lifted, perfumed red fruit of great appeal with complex, minty oak notes. A mouthful of juicy cherry fruit with supple acidity and fantastic, crunchy tannins. Freshness and bite combined with elegance. Hugely appealing."Walter Speller, Jancis

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

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Regnard’ 2020

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Regnard (négoce) bursts with aromas of plums, peonies, warm spices and soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's charming and vibrant, with powdery tannins and a long, sapid finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 89-91 Points

The 2020 Martinenga is a fabulous introduction to the Cru, tasting a range of wines from 2013 to 2021 in one sitting highlighted just how high the base level quality is across the range from Marchesi di Gresy. 2020 is drinking beautifully out of the gate, taste alone, with food and 24 hours later it shone at each stage. The 2020 has an immediate approachability, plush fine and just delicious with elegance and perfume to match. Absolute pleasure to watch this blossom over a couple of days. Delici

Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco ‘Martinenga’ 2021

Delicious! Divine sophisticated fruit with an impeccable acid tannin complex. Dark and fresh cherry layered with a complex array of flavours. Super refined, slatey, mineral elements. Seamless & harmonious.  The finest licorice ~ tar ~ fennel ~ tea & tobacco blended with a spritz of blood orange. Perfectly dialled in. Vibrant and energetic with savoury layers and a lacing of flowers. Sheer, with excellent depth and length. A complete wine.Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Jun 2025Alway

Incredible perfume, so much intrigue. Felt like I was drinking and exceptional Chambolle-Musigny. Line and length of tannin and acid. Such harmony, beautiful fruit. Layers of tannin and flavour, great complexity. I love this! The most ‘Burgundian’ of these 8 cru, shimmering and transparent, signalling the elegance and finesse to unfold. A beautiful and intriguing wine with those Castiglione complexities of cranberry, strawberry, cherry-skin, dried flowers and herbs. Tannins are beautifully b

My cup overfloweth! Barbaresco kicking it up a gear! My first taste of a Sottimano. WOW! This is stunning. Such a complete wine. It has everything and all the right places. A density and richness of dark fruit. Long, lingering and delicious. The richness is perfectly tempered by exceptional tannins of depth. This has been expertly macerated, the time on skins during ferment and just following the completion of the alcoholic fermentation is apparently around 40 days. That time has woven, truffles
