Fresh light reds that go well with most dishes, especially with poultry and ham. Um, yes please? Enjoy these guys a little chilled.
2024 Anne de Joyeuse Le Mignon Rouge (Languedoc, France)
A bright, easygoing red from the foothills of the Pyrenees. Juicy red and dark fruit, gentle spice and soft tannins. Supple, fragrant, and good with a slight chill.
2024 Testalonga Baby Bandito Follow Your Dreams (Swartland, South Africa)
100% Carignan from old, dry-farmed bush vines in the Swartland. Craig and Carla Hawkins ferment the grapes naturally with whole clusters before ageing in old oak. Savoury undercurrents bolstered by raspberry, cranberry and wild herbs.
2024 Breton Un Chien Pineau d'Aunis (Loire, France)
100% Pineau d’Aunis, one of the Loire’s most distinctive red grapes. Light on its feet but full of character, with tart red berries, violets and the grape’s unmistakable cracked-pepper spice.
2024 Estezargues Carambouille (Southern Rhône, France)
A juicy Southern Rhône red from the growers of Les Vignerons d’Estézargues, a cooperative known for its low-intervention approach in the cellar. Generous red and dark fruit meet Mediterranean herbs and spice, with a fresh, supple palate and easy tannins.
