A great partner to the Chardonnay and also from Limoux. With slightly more Cabernet in the blend, its intense bouquet shows blueberry, red pepper and spicy notes and the palate is well balanced with ripe fruit depth and smooth tannins.

The 'High Altitude Garnacha Tintorera' from Bodegas Piqueras comes from the Almansa region of southeastern Spain. It is different to Garnacha, and is a rare 'red-fleshed' grape variety - the vast majority are clear-fleshed, with the skins providing the colour. It gives ripe red cherries, raspberries, crushed boysenberries, red plums and a touch of vanilla spice on the nose. Medium-bodied and deep in colour with well-integrated fine juicy tannins, persistent and soft on the palate with a silky fruit-forward finish.

A late entry to the new wine list and it only made it in by the skin of its teeth but we couldn't resist!! This amazing new No Added Sulphur 60% Merlot 40% Cabernet Franc red from the sun-drenched South of France has intense Merlot based black fruit flavours with notes of plum & herbal garrigue spice singing from the Cabernet Franc. A great wine in it's purest unadulterated form.

The mouth is a blend of raspberries, cherries, plums all underlined by soft note of vanilla. A wonderful weighty wine, just the sort of punch you want for long evenings and barbecued food.

A four month-long maceration ensures that the maximum amount of flavour has been extracted from the skins of the Malbec grapes. Good natural acidity is an essential factor in quality sweet wines and there's just the right amount here to keep in check the layers of plum fruits, chocolate, coffee, caramel, spice and marmalade flavours you'll find here. A delicious way to end dinner, serve it at no more than 15°c.

This lightly-herbal southern French Pinot Noir has crunchy summer berry fruits and a good, long length of flavour in the palate. Chunkier than some Pinot Noir's this wine can certainly carry more flavoursome foods.

Organic Carignan from old vines fermented in large cement tanks. Earthy-meaty red with good freshness and a nice sprinkling of herbs.

Argentina

Made without the addition of sulphur and contrasts with the lavish, extractive, chocolate-cakey numbers that most wineries seem to churn out. Here one notices the acidity of the grape along with savoury red fruits and liquorice.

Mainly planted in Sicily, its wild strawberry and cherry character is sure to delight. Light to medium bodied, the sweet jamminess of the fruit is brilliantly offset by tangy acidity. There's a faint hint of cinnamon too, tannins are soft, it's hugely enjoyable. The locals enjoy this red lightly chilled with fish dishes.

Grape: Frappato

Sicily, Italy

Deeply intense dark colour. A mass of heady ripe blackberry and dark cherry fruit leaps from the glass. Pure, beautifully ripe and glowing with health this fine red from Navarra in north east Spain makes a very compelling argument as an alternative to Rioja, its more celebrated neighbour.

The palate is similarly easy to enjoy, crammed with a medley of raspberry, damson plum and blackberry with subtle nuances of wild scrub and herbs, topped off with a light dusting of pepper. Tannins are relaxed and gentle. All in all, a joyful glass of casual drinking red.

Bergerac (its near neighbour) but much more affordable. The excellent length of flavour belies its modest price tag.

Grape: Merlot

Light purple and ready to be enjoyed in its youth. It has aromas of ripe plum and dark cherries with notes of blackberry, cassis and an earthy undertone that leads on to a soft and smooth tannin structure. Incredibly soft an easy to drink, this wine is light enough to be chilled down slightly, and enjoyed with a tuna steak from the BBQ during the summer, or on its own with roast chicken, game or lamb during the cooler months.

The trio of red varieties used here are Corvina, Cabernet and Merlot. With the excellent skill and light touch of the winemakers at Fasoli Gino, they have produced a very friendly, soft and approachable wine, full of summer berry flavour. Resembling Valpolicella or a good Bardolino, it boasts an elegant bouquet of dark cherry, blackcurrant and damson plum. Supple, easy tannins balance the gentle fruit profile perfectly. A great party red or perhaps to accompany lighter lunchtime choices. Can also be served slightly chilled in order to promote its elegant fruit flavours.
