Bodegas Nekeas 2021
Style: Generous, warming red
Cut to the Chase: Lovely to just drink as a glass, but will be good with grilled and BBQ meats, actually a very versatile wine to match with food.
Wine Expert Speak: First sniff and you’re in the Mediterranean, there is pepper and spice over red and black fruit. It is generous, yet fresh, warm and rounded, medium bodied, rewarding yet not heavy.
Origin: Navarra, Spain
Grape variety: Tempranillo (50%), Garnacha (50%)
ABV: 14%
75cl
Château Laballe Terres Basses Rouge 2019
Style: Fresh, firm red
Cut to the Chase: Serve it cool in the summer. Drink with lamb or fat sausages and lentils.
Wine Expert Speak: This youthful red offers up dark, earthy fruit with heady floral spice. It is firm and structured in the mouth, with unguarded youthful bravado, juicy and fresh, sturdy but not rough. Let it breathe; if you can keep it, it will taste better the next day.
Origin: Gascony, France
Grape variety: Tannat (40%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%)
ABV: 13%

Corvers-Kauter Rheingau 2018
Style: Fine, elegant red
Cut to the Chase: If you like red wine with fish this is for you. Otherwise it’s delicious with pork, veal and chicken.
Wine Expert Speak: If red Burgundy is too expensive and New Zealand Pinot too boisterous, you need to try Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) from Germany. This one is savoury and complex with cherry, raspberry and currant fruit flavours and a teasing herbal undertone. It is medium weight, with fresh, firm acidity. Refined, understated. Classy.
Origin: Rheingau Germany
Grape variety: Pinot Noir
ABV: 13.5%
75cl
Penruddocke’s Red 2018 (Pinot Noir)
Style: Fresh & Light
Cut to the chase: A wine that is perfectly suited to a typical English roast especially lamb. Enjoy this also with any other lamb based meals. In the warm summer this can be very lightly chilled.
Wine expert speak: This unique Pinot Noir has a beautiful ruby red colour, with bright cherry and bramble on the nose. On the palate there is a soft structure with a cleansing structure.
Origin: Wiltshire
Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
ABV: 11%
Tempo al Vino Alese 2019
Style: Generous, warming red
Cut to the Chase: A no brainer with pasta, will suit anything with tomato sauce.
Wine Expert Speak: Made from the Negroamaro (‘black bitter”) grape this attractive Puglian red shows a warm, spicy nose, with broad, ripe flavours of raspberries and cherries. It is soft, generous and easy, with robust, mature flavours on the finish.
