Big, Fruity Reds. 6x75cl Mixed Case

Your just-seared steak glances to you, then to the glass of Sauvignon Blanc in your hand, then back at you. The tension is palpable. The disapproval obvious...

Summer doesn't have to mean rosé and white wine exclusively — a handful of bold, fruit-forward reds are built for warm weather too. Australia's Barossa Shiraz delivers ripe blackberry and plum with soft, velvety tannins, while Sicily's Nero d'Avola offers dark cherry fruit and a rustic character that's easy to pour with a slight chill. Southern France's Côtes du Rhône Rouge, a Grenache-based blend, brings juicy red fruit and affordable, food-friendly versatility, and Puglia's Primitivo (aka Zinfandel) leans into jammy dark fruit for an easy crowd-pleaser.

Rounding things out, Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon offers structured black currant and plum fruit at a fraction of Napa or Bordeaux prices, and Stellenbosch's red blends — with their pristine dark fruity richness with a smoky edge. All six share soft-enough tannins to enjoy slightly chilled, generous fruit character, and real value, making them easy picks for backyard dinners and warm-weather drinking all summer long.
