2023 Uovo Cabernet/Nebbiolo, Larry Cherubino, Frankland River

Red Blend

Here's something you don't come across everyday...a Nebbiolo/Cabernet blend that is fermented and aged in concrete egg.  The choice of fermentation vessel aids circulation during teh ferment which imparts depth, volume and texture to the resultant wine.  This fabulous wine not only has a cool, egg-shaped label, but drinks beautifully - showing bright acidity and a lovely balance between sweet blackcurrant fruit and something altogether more savoury and herbal. The finish is clean and multi-layered.

2024 Apassimento Rosso ‘Beatrice’, Cantine Pirovano, IGT Salento

Red Blend

The Cantine Pirovano Apassimento Rosso is a lovely example of this ever popular style of red wine. The wine shows a lovely deep red in the glass and has masses of dried dark fruits, leather, tobacco and chocolate on the silky, balanced palate. This impressive red wine is the perfect mid-week pick to accompany a bowl of pasta or bangers and mash, yet smart enough to take to friends for supper without breaking the bank.

2024 Secateurs Red Blend, AA Badenhorst, Swartland

Red Blend

The 2024 Secateurs Red Blend by AA Badenhorst has to be amongst the best he's made.  Adi bought a neighbouring farm that he used to buy grapes from but now has pick of the crop for himself.  There's a hgher proportion of Cabernet in this release than usual, adding more cassis and dark fruit flavours to the mineral tinged spice of the Shiraz. Fuller than normal too, but by no means less approachable, with juicy tannins and terrific balance.

Red Blend

The Hancock and Hancock Shiraz/Grenache blend is made in a beautifully restrained and supple style.  There's plenty of ripe dark plum fruit, pepper and spice courtesy of the Shiraz with the rose petal perfume and red cherry flavours of Grenache. Well balanced through to the finish, this drinks really well now, but will cellar nicely for 5 years or so.

Red Blend

2025 Lorca Lo Ancelotta/Malbec, Mauricio Lorca, Mendoza

Red Blend

It isn't always easy to find decent low alcohol red wines that are truly enjoyable, but we think we've uncovered a little gem with the Lorca Lo.  Made with Ancelotta and Malbec from naturally early ripening vines in eastern Mendoza, this bright and fresh red is packed with crunchy red fruits and is a joy to quaff.  If you're looking for a red that is light in style but doesn't compromise on fruit or structure then you should try this juicy little number.
