Summer Chilled Reds Box

Our first red wine from Croatia and wow it is delicious, we find in our new Dika Frankovka to be a real hidden gem and a star in the making. 'Dika', which translates to 'Pride' in English, is full of quality which the producers are obviously very proud of. Our Dika is medium to full bodied, has delicious aromas of berries, cherries, and blackberries, showcasing a nice balance between its acids and tannins making for a real treat. Its medium to full-bodied nature will go perfectly with you next steak night , barbecues, pizza or spicy pasta dish. Feravino Winery, located in the Feri?anci region of Slavonia, Croatia, has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Originally influenced by the Cistercians and Templars, the winery has evolved significantly over the centuries. Today, it boasts over 150 hectares of vineyards on the gentle slopes of Krndija mountain, which benefit from ideal sunlight exposure. This setup contributes to the high quality of their wines.

A gorgeously fun and delicious red wine that is medium bodied and bursting with vibrant red fruit. A blend of two of Austria's key red grapes, 80% Zweigelt and 20% St Laurent, this has layers of bright red summer fruit and herbaceous notes, backed up with juicy acidity and minerality. A must try for the adventurous wine lover that is guaranteed to be a success. Produced from biodynamically farmed grapes with no added sulphur, the Judith Beck wines speak for themselves and you can taste the high quality grapes in ever glass. Judith Beck is a family run winery, established in the 1970s and farmed in accordance to biodynamic principles since 2007. We love this wine so much and think it is such good value for money that it is a new favourite in our 5 Star section.

At last we found a delicious Pinot Noir at an affordable price ! We love this for its soft red fruity flavours and the mild earthy undertones. Pinot Noir is a difficult grape to grow with its thin skins and fragile nature, the result is that they are hard to find at an affordable price point. Domaine de Bachellery has a very long history of winemaking with records dating back to 1584. A true testament to the potential of wine which is produced here. The reputation of the wine at the domaine has been forged over centuries. The Julien family took over here during the 1980s and produce vibrant and intense wines.

Brich is a wonderful Barbera, grown on the hills of Montferrato in Piemonte.  On the palate, the wine feels free and natural, fresh with crunchy black fruit, full-bodied and richly layered with juicy cherry and blueberry ending with elegant, earthy notes. Today, this beautiful, organically farmed estate, has 20-ha of vineyards set on rolling hills, a large orchard, a working farm, which is surrounded by ancient forest. This is a collaboration between Gianluca Ravizza of Cascina Gaia and Eric Narioo (Vino di Anna) in hilly Monferrato region of Piedmont. The land was originally solely an orchard, producing gorgeous apples and stone fruits, surrounded by ancient woods. A decade ago Gianluca purchased some neighbouring vineyards, while some apple trees were replaced with plantings of native Montferrato grapes.
