REDS TO CHILL
A selection of wines is available for those interested in exploring new wines. Each set is organized around a theme; some focus on different styles of the same varietal, some are based on geographic regions, and others are grouped by style. If a specific group appeals to you or if you already enjoy one of the wines in a set, give it a try.
Some lighter, fruitier reds can really shine with a slight chill (12-16.C). With fruitier, fresher flavours coming to the fore. Softer Pinot Noirs and the more delicate Beaujolais are easy bets but here are some more unconventional examples.
Strange Kompanjie Cinsault 13.5%abv
Cinsault
South Africa (Paarl)
(Vegetarian, Vegan, Sustainable)
The nose is alluringly bright with aromas of fresh cranberry and raspberry. The palate reflects these with vibrant, crunchy red berry fruit, tangy acidity and warm, gently spicy notes. An immediately appealing and quaffable style with a serious streak of quality thanks to the low yielding bush vine fruit.
Montresor San Pietro, Valpolicella 12.5%abv
Corvina/Rondinella/Molinara
Italy (Veneto)
(Vegetarian, Vegan)
A fresh, juicy red with aromas of ripe red cherries and a hint of the gently herbal character typical of Valpolicella. Bright and vibrant on the palate with nice purity of redcurrant and cherry fruit, and subtle spicy notes.
Vina Laurent Polemico Pais 13%abv
Pais
Chile (Itata Valley)
(Vegetarian, Vegan)
Medium cherry red color. On the nose, it presents an intense aroma reminiscent of strawberry, delicately spiced with hints of hazelnut. On the palate, it is a fresh, juicy wine with lively tannins and a long, fresh, and elegant finish. Ideal serving temperature: 13/14°C.
