Red wine is one of those categories that fits into everything from weeknight dinners to long, relaxed evenings. Known for its rich colour and warming flavours, it’s typically made from dark grape varieties where the skins are left in contact with the juice during fermentation. This influences everything from aroma to texture, giving many reds their characteristic body and depth.

You’ll find red wines across a wide range of styles, from light and easy-drinking to full-bodied options with more pronounced tannins. Lighter reds often show fresh berry and cherry notes, while deeper, aged styles can lean towards plum, cocoa, tobacco or earthy spice, depending on the region and whether the wine is matured in oak. Oak ageing can add hints of vanilla and toast, but not every red is oak-led, so it’s worth checking the style if you’re pairing with food.

As a rule of thumb, try matching the wine’s weight to the dish. Reds with softer tannins work beautifully with pasta and roast chicken, whereas bolder, tannic choices tend to shine with steaks and lentil or mushroom dishes. Explore the range to find your go-to glass, whether you prefer crisp and bright or smooth and structured.
