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 de la Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru 'Clos de la Bousse d'Or' MAGNUM 2022

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Volnay 1er Cru ‘Clos de la Bousse d’Or’ MAGNUM 2022

A perfumed and exceptionally pretty, elegant and pure nose speaks of wafting essence of red berries, especially cherry, along with exotic spice and floral wisps. I very much like the texture of the beautifully refined middleweight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that displays excellent length. This could use better depth but that should only be a matter of patience. 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound  (91-94) Point

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Les Champonnets' 2018

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

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Champonnets’ 2018

Les Champonnets, situated on the same line as the Grands Crus and very near to Ruchottes-Chambertin, is tucked up high near the entrance of the Lavaux combe (or valley). Mortet's parcel here used to make up almost half of his 1er Cru bottling above, and 2014 was the first year this parcel was vinified and bottled separately. It comes from a combination of very old vines (60-70 years old) and some younger, at around 30 years old. The soil is deep, yet with a strong limestone component that shows

Àlvaro Palacios 'Finca Dolfi' MAGNUM 2021

Garnacha from Gratallops, Priorat

Àlvaro Palacios ‘Finca Dolfi’ MAGNUM 2021

I had the pleasure of devouring the 2016 about 18 months ago over an aged scotch fillet with a friend. A wine of presence and importance. Along with the other Priorats I've had from Àlvaro it's clear he's got it right in both the vineyard and the winery. After all, to make a wine like the legendary L'Ermita you need mad skills!Even just after landing in the country when wines are a little out of sorts from shipping across the world, the perfume builds in the glass with all the trademark

Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes 2021

Pinot Noir from Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes 2021

This wine comes from the 1er Cru section of Morey’s Monts Luisants vineyard, much of which is AOC Clos de la Roche today. Ponsot labels it Cuvée des Alouettes (alouette is a lark) to differentiate it from the white wine from this lieu-dit (1er Cru Clos des Monts Luisants Blanc). This section of the vineyard is now ploughed by horse. The vines are between 23 and 30 years old and rooted in white oolite limestone, historically giving a deep, slow-to-unwind red Burgundy that becomes a vi

Roagna Barolo Pira MAGNUM 2016

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Roagna Barolo Pira MAGNUM 2016

On openning the Pira was all beefstock, savoury with a hint of reduction. Revisited with 15 hours in the glass. There you have it DJ Luca has been at it again. The fruit has come to the fore. The faded flowers so common with great wines from Castiglione Falleto are shining along with red fruit, orange and a hint of baking spice. It’s the shape, focus, mouthfeel and exceptional interplay between fruit of depth and length weighted beautifully against long even tannin matched to vibrant acid that

Vietti Barbaresco 'Rabajà Riserva' 2019

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

Vietti Barbaresco ‘Rabajà Riserva’ 2019

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a new wine from Vietti. It soars out of the glass with a captivating bouquet redolent of crushed flowers, herbs, mint and orange peel. The aromatics alone are beguiling. Nervy and classic in build, with gorgeous inner sweetness, the 2019 is utterly irresistible.Antoni Galloni, Vinous 95 PointsVietti worked in the Rabajà cru in the 1980s and has now returned to make this inaugural vintage of the latest wine to join the portfolio.

Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 2021

There is something here that takes Sangiovese to a special place, the perfume, the lovely linear shape of fruit, that deceptive depth and length that builds! Defined by a noble mineral precision that remains subtly in the background, the Poggio di Sotto 2021 Brunello di Montalcino delivers beautiful clarity to the bouquet and freshness to the palate. Within that framework, the wine reveals layers of cassis, red rose and grilled rosemary, offering impressive complexity inside a full-bodied but el

Le Macchiole Messorio 2020

Merlot from Bolgheri, Tuscany

Le Macchiole Messorio 2020

Made with Merlot, the 2020 Messorio is a profound and richly textured wine that has become one of vintner Cinza Merli's flagships. Ripe fruit, dark cherry, oak spice and toast converge with balanced intensity to characterize this generous expression from Tuscany. The issue with Merlot, especially in a hot vintage such as this, is ripeness or, specifically, over-ripeness. Messorio navigates a challenging growing season with flying colors.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 96 PointsAntonio G

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Gabutti' JEROBOAM 3L 2019

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Gabutti’ JEROBOAM 3L 2019

A wonderful expression of Serralunga, all of the tea, slate, graphite, exceptional quality tannins, with a presence and sophistication. The firm mouthfeel of seriously good Serralunga tannins. Again such a complete wine. The nose draws you in. Begging you to drink. A darkness and energy that is palpable.Impressive gear. Precise, and pure, wearing the vineyard and commune on its sleeve. Superb fruit of depth and length. Great drinking here with much much more to come.
