Winter Warmers
Laura on 7 Dec 2016
With November more than half way over, there's no more denying it: winter is well and truly on its way. So now's the time to pull the woolen scarfs and beanies out from the depths of your cupboard, whack your central heating into gear, and stock your wine rack up a collection of warming winter reds. Which is where we come in. With an impressive line-up of some of the most soulful reds from around the world, we've got a tipple to suit just about any palate. While we've picked out just five, rest assured we have plenty more to keep you going through the chilly winter months.
Bertani Amarone Valpantena 2013
Deep dark ruby with a violet rim. Notes of black and sour cherries, berries, spices and dried fruit. The palate is creamy with soft tannins and integrated oak. This is a lighter, fruitier and younger version of Bertani’s icon Amarone Classico.
Melodias Malbec, Trapiche 2015
A rich, red-colored wine with violet hues, redolent of plums and cherries. Round in the mouth with a touch of truffle and vanilla. The ideal wine for grilled meat. It also goes very well with pasta, mild to spicy cuisine and semi-hard cheeses such as Gouda, Edam or Gruyere.
With a dash of Zinfandel, this Pinot Noir blushes bright ruby red. Aromas of cherry and red plum play with earthy characters and notes of oak. The palate is fresh with rich red fruits.
