Winter Reds

Winter Reds gathers fuller-bodied red wines suited to colder-weather drinking, spanning richer styles like Syrah, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon through to more structured Merlot and Primitivo-style reds from both New Zealand and overseas producers. These favour warmth and depth over lighter, more delicate styles, making them a good match for hearty food and cooler evenings. Because the selection is seasonal, the specific bottlings here can change from year to year even though the focus on richer, warming reds stays constant. For the wider category these are drawn from, Red Wine covers the full range, while Shiraz and Malbec are worth a look for two of the more prominent styles featured here.
