These are our top ten favourite red wines selected by our team of connoisseurs.

1. THREE WOOLY SHEEP PINOT NOIR (£11.99)

A beautifully fragranced pinot noir with red cherry and delicate spice aromas. Red berry flavours are supported by subtle, sweet french oak characters while the palate is supple and medium bodied.

2. VIRTUOSO PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA DOC (£12.99)

Pale From the sunny Puglia region, Virtuoso Primitivo di Manduria is full and tasty, with soft tannins and sweet cherry notes. Complex and sophisticated, thanks to the aging in oak barrels, this is an elegant wine to enjoy with games, aged cheese, or as meditation wine.

3. BAROSSAN VALLEY GRENACHE P LEHMANN (£15.99)

With purple hues and a bright crimson edge, this wine is extremely fragrant, revealing aromas of fresh raspberries, maraschino cherries and peppery spices. This is a medium-bodied wine with flavours of juicy berries and soft tannins, with exotic subtleties of pomegranate and rose.

4. HEARTLAND DIRECTORS CUT SHIRAZ( £21.99)

The dark purple colour is a clear indication of the intensity that awaits in your glass. The nose is inundated with berry compote and a decorative topping of fresh berries. These are accented by whispers of spice. The palate offers juicy plums and chocolate dipped dried fruits. There are also hints of oregano and thyme. The finish is long and the freshness unmistakable.

5. ANNAPARENNA RED WINE £43.99

Delicious Australian red wine with dark purple hues frame a depth of black. Complex layers of black fruits with a slight herbal lift and notes of anise spice. Hints of dark cherry and dried spice with seamlessly integrated tannin.

 

6. Maravides 12 Meses (£16.99)

Maravides 12 Meses This Spanish red wine has an elegant aroma. Intense Ripe fruit: plum, strawberry and red currant. Aromas of oak and spices. An explosion of rich flavours. Creamy. Notes of toasted cocoa beans and vanilla.

7. PORTICO MAYOR RESERVA RIOJA (£18.99)

PORTICO MAYOR RESERVA RIOJA has notes of dark chocolate paired with dark fruits on the nose. For a Rioja, it looks very fresh but also elegant and powerful.

8. ALCONDE RESERVA RED WINE (£21.99)

A very special Spanish red wine for the cellar of our best grapes. It gives off aromas of noble woods, toasted, with balsamic and spicy touches. Very round and mature tannins, of perfect balance and delicacy without lacking corpulence.

9. AMON RA SHIRAZ RED WINE (£49.99)

Amon Ra Shiraz red wine displays a very deep purple-black colour and floral notes of violets and wilted rose petals over mulberries, blueberries, star anise, mocha, fenugreek, cumin seeds, cloves and tree bark plus some toasty oak. Full-bodied and rich yet not overly so, it has refreshingly crisp acid and firm grainy tannins texturing the long spicy finish.

10. DOMAINE CARILLON CIRE POMMARD (£39.99)

Ruby red colour. This Pommard offers a nose of black cherry and spices going towards new leather in the glass. The palate is fresh, sustained by round and supple tannins. Recommendations: Grilled red meat with sauce, beef steak, lamb or poultry stew pairs well with the firm texture of the tannins and concentrated flavours
