Yep, that’s one heck of a hangover: But we’re not ones to judge here at Advintage (hey, we all got up to some mischief once upon a time) and we’ve managed to get over the Aussies making sparkling shiraz so we’re willing to give Riunite another chance. Dive in.Īh, Riunite Lambrusco! The lightly effervescent Italian red wine with a kiss of sweetness that is still trying to throw off its somewhat tarnished reputation from the 1980s. Try paired with roasted chook and Mediterranean vegetables tossed through with fresh herbs and feta cheese, or with duck liver parfait and cranberry sauce on fresh, crusty bread. With bright notes of red currant, raspberry, cherry, plum and hints of herbs and wood spice, this is a seriously versatile food wine. This single vineyard expression takes fruit from the famed Two Terraces vineyard, with gentle hand plunging and large format oak maturation making for a light, fragrant and yet deliciously satisfying wine. The Artisanal range allows celebrated winemaker Gordon Russell to make interesting, small batch wines that indulge his personal preferences rather than being driven by the market dynamics. We can guarantee you’ll be back for more.Įsk Valley Artisanal Collection Gamay Noir 2021Įsk Valley's Artisanal Gamay Noir is the ultimate anytime wine, perfect for summer nights and everything in between. Pair with pulled pork and a smoky barbecue glaze, or grilled lamb rump and a flavoursome chimichurri salsa. It’s proudly middleweight and approachable with plush and juicy fruit on the palate, but still showing some underlying hints of Malbec's famous savoury drive. Decibel’s Giunta Malbec Nouveau has been made in a lighter, fresher style than Hawke’s Bay red is generally known for - think of this wine as a cross between Hawke's Bay Malbec and Beaujolais Nouveau and you're on the right track. Here in Hawke’s Bay, we’re blessed with long, hot and sunny days that make the region perfect for ripening red grapes. The ripe red plum flavours of this wine will pair perfectly with crispy duck pancakes and plum sauce, venison carpaccio or a grilled tuna steak and salad.

With a lively acid backbone, it’s seriously refreshing and dangerously moreish.

Swift Wines’ Gamay Noir 2022 is bursting with crunchy red fruits and bubblegum aromas. When the lawns have been mowed, the kids have gone to bed and the evening is hot and sultry, a glass of this delicious and juicy red should be your go to. Think barbecued chicken drumsticks with a spicy jerk glaze or chilli beef tacos. There are also some subtle spicy notes that make it a great match for moderately spiced dishes or tapas.
SHOULD LAMBRUSCO WINE BE CHILLED FULL
Te Mata Estate’s Gamay Noir is full of soft, ripe summer berry fruits and gentle fleshy tannins that make for seriously easy drinking.īright, refreshing and silky smooth, it’s the perfect wine to start the evening with. This charming, juicy little number has truly been made with summer sipping in mind. So with temperatures rising and summer finally under way, we’ve put together a list of our juiciest and most moreish summer reds for your sipping pleasure. (For more on this topic, check out our Common Wine Myths Busted blog.) In fact, many red wines are often served too warm and white wines served too cold.

Some red wines are intentionally made in a lighter style that benefit from being served at a lower temperature which showcases their fresh, fruity aromas. Though it may sound strange, the concept of chilling red wine is nothing new. But on days when the sun is shining and the bbq is cranking, sometimes something a little lighter and less complex tickles our fancy. Here at Advintage HQ, we’re big fans of a hearty red and in our book there’s nothing quite like an inky, full-bodied Aussie shiraz or a grippy cab sauv paired with a sizzling cut of ribeye steak.
