This is exactly what we want from Gamay sometimes - a sense of ease. It’s light bodied, fruit forward Gamay with a pinch of savouriness. It’s an uncomplicated, charming dinner companion.Alexandre Burgaud is based in Lantignié, to the west of the celebrated cru of Morgon in Beaujolais. His five ...

It looks like something that fell out of the back of Tony Soprano’s Cadillac. The misconceptions don't end there, as this is not the full bodied red that Primitivo is known for as a variety. This is a light, bright, immediate style. It has juicy red berry aromatics, and this moorish spiced fruit p...

We love that wine styles are constantly evolving. And this is a great example of that. It’s Central Otago Pinot Noir, a style you might expect to know well, but made in a light, fragrant, chillable style. It has the variety’s signature red fruits, but rather than ripe cherry, it’s more in the ...

This is the kind of chillable, light red we’ve been loving of late. It’s best described by it’s maker as a “kaleidoscope of aromas of cherry, raspberry and blood orange through to an array of spices with a mixture of dried herbs. Gentle tannin is contrasted with a lovely negroni-like bittern...

A benchmark in the realm of light, chillable reds, this is brightly red fruited, with hints of spice and smoke. It’s crunchy and fresh to taste, with supple texture. Delightful. It’s a wine that came about in 2015 after hail hit Elisabetta Foradori’s vineyards hard. Elisabetta is a trailblazer...

A damn fine rosé/orange wine mash up, there's red fruits, rhubarb, nice weight and density, with a satisfying grip on the finish. It's made from Pinot Gris that's given 4 days on skins, and Pinot Noir that's carbonically macerated. The fruit is organically grown without irrigation, and the wine is ...

A refreshing change from the big, extracted Hawkes Bay reds you may know, this is Kiwi Cab Franc on a charm offensive. Holly from Three Fates explains - “This is a Franc for lovers of Pinot Noir or Beaujolais Cru; looking to the Loire for inspiration". And the three fates have nailed it. It’s br...

In exploring different styles of New Zealand Pinot Noir, we think lighter, more playful styles like this have a real place. Pinot’s bright red fruit, with fine, chalky tannin and freshness are front and centre here. It’s supple, fun, and best served a little chilled. The fruit comes the clay slo...

Hedonistically forward and ripe fruited, this has supple texture, vibrancy and satisfying, gentle tannic dryness. It's Pinot Noir, but the kind you might like to chill down a little. Organic fruit from Auntsfield's Raupo vineyard is wild fermented with a 12 day maceration, before pressing into seaso...

This is supple, light, energetic drinking, as well as being a beautifully pure expression of Sangiovese. It’s pretty with bright red fruits and pomegranate aromatics. The palate is fresh, poised and shows a hint of the brooding side of this classic Italian variety. Fruit comes from the certified o...

We love Gamay, and we love Italian wine. So this is dreamy…. and dreamy to taste. It’s red fruited with floral and licorice notes. It’s light, precise, refreshing and just asking to be chilled. It’s an obscurity, grown in the Valle d’Aosta, the mountainous north eastern region of Italy tha...

Excuse the wine wank for a moment, but this tasty bottle is in this great, non-binary space that isn’t rosé but isn’t red either. It’s beautifully fragrant in red fruits, tea, watermelon and wild herbs. It has sumptuous palate weight with chalky freshness, and is made from Pinot Noir with a s...

Light, easy and crunchy, this raspberry bomb is made from Riverland Shiraz and Grenache.Sebastian Keys and Zachary Godbolt of Doom Juice make wines that are all about fun and accessibility. They source sustainably and organically grown fruit from vineyards around Australia.

Answering your call for chillable reds, this is bright and crunchy, with a lifted, botanical nose. There's a little peppery note to the palate that's super supple and light. Organic fruit was given a short maceration of 10 days during ferment, with mostly whole berries (and no stems).Having been ena...

Bright, fragrant, and full of charm, this high-altitude Criolla is a love letter to Argentina’s oldest grape. Grown organically in the Uco Valley and fermented with wild yeasts, it’s light on its feet with juicy red berries, floral notes, and a gentle touch of spice. A seriously tasty Pinot alte...

Beautifully pure fruited, this is hand picked, hand destemmed Pinot Noir made in the light, chillable style we've been loving of late. Brightly flavoured with ripe strawberry and cherry, it's poised and supremely well balanced. Ash has nailed it again.Ashleigh Barrowman, mentored by industry legends...

Frappato is a delightfully light red variety native to Sicily, and this one from Nicosia is spot on. With its bright, red fruited aromatics and crunchy palate, we think you’ll love it served a little chilled.The Nicosia family have been producing wine in Sicily since the late 1800s. Still very muc...

Jannine’s Kuratea is a light, chillable expression of Martinborough Pinot Noir from the organic Stad-Ko vineyard. With jubey red and dark fruit, a little brambly notes, and a crunchy palate, it’s light and bright and just the ticket.We go on about ‘place’ a lot when talking about wine. With ...
