Red Wine by Country

A silky merlot blend from the Côtes de Castillon to deliciously demonstrate just how good - and ageworthy - the wines of Bordeaux's more affordable regions have become.

Château Ramafort is in cracking form. The Cru Bourgeois estate, once belonged to Château Lafite. A 50/50 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot.

From this up-and-coming producer a sensational Côtes du Rhône village and for us, one of the best value wines to be found in all the Rhône valley. Very Châteauneuf.

A sumptuous blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from one of Chianti's most ancient estates, representing over 5 centuries of Siennese winemaking. Loves grilled red meats, game, mature cheeses.

Rasteau, with cairanne is the best of the 21 Cotes-du-Rhône Villages. Small fourth generation family growers Marc and Mireille Besnardeau's grenache, syrah and mourvedre Rasteau is a favourite of ours.

Made from low-yielding Grenache vines averaging over 70 years of age for a delicious example of how good modern Spanish winemaking gets.

A delicious red Rhône and a long a favourite of the Guide Hachette des Vins, Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker and ours. Grenache, syrah and just a touch of mourvedre.

Made from 40 year old vines and aged in French oak barrels. Priorat with just Rioja has the highest designation for a wine appellation in Spain.

A fine blend of shiraz and the South African grape pinotage (pinot noir x cinsault) from the Sumaridge vineyards, close to Hermanus where many of South Africa's wines are made.

Combining the rich and savoury, peppery character of the syrah with cabernet sauvignon's blackberries, cherries and floral spices and with touches of merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.

Vibrant, deeply flavoured cabernet sauvignon that is elegant, aromatic, and, though irresistible now, also happy to spend the next ten years developing further layers of enchanting nuance and flavour.

From 2.5 hectares of vineyard averaging 45 years of age, here is deeply-flavoured, juicy, sophisticated pinot noir from Rully on the Cote Chalonnaise in southern Burgundy.

We've now sold out of this Amarone. However, we have another excellent option available: the 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, Lonardi .
