Ice Your Red, Summer’s Ahead! By Ricki-Lee Podolecki, DipWSET What’s better than red wine on a cold winter evening? A chilled red wine on a hot summer afternoon! Most of us swap out our bold reds for whites and rosés at this time of year, but sometimes you just crave the flavours of a red, no matter the season. Although we typically serve red wines at room temperature or just below, there are a handful of fantastic wines that you can stick in an ice bucket to enjoy the best of both worlds.
French (and French-inspired) So many red grapes have their origin in France—but they also have great expressions in other areas of the world. Try chilling these international grapes with French roots: Cinsault, Pinot Noir, Gamay (Beaujolais), and Cabernet Franc. • Domaine de la Treille 2020 Cabernet Franc Anjou, France ($15.99) • Jean-Marc Burgaud 2020 Les Vignes de Lantignie Beaujolais, France ($26.99) • Thörle 2019 Spätburgunder Rheinhessen, Germany ($24.99) • Craven 2018 Cinsaut Stellenbosch, South Africa ($28.99)
