One of Val's deliciously light and juicy reds, in a style he refers to as 'glouglou plus' - meaning there is a wealth of explosive, pure fruit character, but not to the loss of structure in the wine. Sumptuous black cherry fruit and spice jostle together with very light grip from the dialled-back tannins. A playful, well-rounded bouncing ball of a wine with no shortage of charm. Best served chilled. Find out more.

Juicy, herbaceous summer red that is primed for the ice bucket. A direct-press of Cabernet Sauvignon with whole bunches of Gamay, Syrah and Merlot in the juice to infuse. Bright, light and impossibly fruity. Pure glouglou! Find out more.

Another trademark juice-bomb red, this time using the unlikely blend of Cabernet Franc and Syrah, the former grape a real anomaly in this part of France. There is a lightness of touch on display that harnesses every last drop of vibrant fruit character; deep, lip-smacking blackcurrant fruit with a green, herbal fragrance, plush sheen and plenty of intrigue.

As ever, Raphaël & Émélie's Gamay walks the line between supple, smooth elegance and wild-edged earthiness. The oversized bottles make a lot of sense as the wine feels like something to slurp and glug, rather than to sip and pore over - it's nourishing, compelling stuff Find out more.

In contrast to Noëlla's other soft, velvet-smooth reds, her delightfully crunchy Gamay maintains a certain degree of edge. More juicy, vegetal and with a degree of funkiness, once this one has had a chance to breathe in a bit of air its plush layers of black and red forest fruits really begin to show themselves. A certified lip-smacker. Find out more.

Tomàs Torres is one of those must-try Spanish producers who makes delicious, humble wines that offer a lot for very little. This is one mightily approachable Garnacha, made in a vivid, supple style. Crunchy red fruits up front, with just the right amount of spice. Find out more.

A wine that serves as something of a snapshot of the 2020 vintage, topping up a blend of Pinot Noir and Merlot with a little of all Anton's other reds. As usual the wine is the antithesis of the sometimes jammy, overripe Aussie style. Savoury and bright, this wine has lots of edge. Find out more.

Grolleau from a parcel of fifty year old vines surrounded by forest and planted over loam that has never been subjected to chemical farming. Bottled young and brimming with energy, this cooler vintage has produced a lively wine that pairs berries, earth and a gentle funk to brilliant effect. Find out more.

A rustic, grippy blend of Syrah and Merlot from two different parts of the Adelaide Hills. Spiky acid, lots of deep blackcurrant and briny black olive and the faintest waft of eucalyptus. Find out more.

Hampshire Lambrusco? No, not something we thought we'd find ourselves writing either - but here we are! Offbeat embrace the experimental, so there is little to compare this too, but keep the Lambrusco reference in mind - it has that tart, freshly-picked bramble berry feel, with keen acids, so one could enjoy it in much the same way. Find out more.

A little of the forthcoming 2023 vintage of this wine, bottled early around the time of Beaujolais Nouveau, just weeks after the harvest. It's lively, brisk refreshment - don't expect anything too sophisticated, this is simple, pure and delicious juice. Find out more.

Bobinet do wonderful things with Cabernet Franc and were one of the first producers to draw us to Saumur. Hanami is one of their brighter, crunchier cuvées, made in a fruit-forward style, harnessing the herbal fragrance and plush cherry fruit the grape can abundantly provide. Find out more.

Highly unconventional Margaret River stylings here with this descriptively-named red and white mix of Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz. In light, chillable red territory, here the red coulis fruits are elevated with herbaceous vim. Incomparable and all the better for it - if it tastes this good, why not? Find out more.

Sunset pink and flavoured delicately with sour cherries, blood orange and herbs. The bittersweet flavours here offer plenty of refreshment and intrigue. Find out more.

The 2020 vintage showed a real change of direction for the Lucy M. wines and this Pinot Noir particularly sidesteps the wildness in favour of some real elegance. Pressed very lightly, it shows some delicate, savoury qualities, along with some piercing, herbaceous berry fruits. Find out more.

As the name would suggest, this is an easy-drinking fruit-bomb red, made with Garnacha & Merlot and bottled with a little sugar remaining. This gives the cherry and watermelon notes a candied quality and a bit of a spritz without being properly sparkling. Great fun. Find out more.

A satisfying outsized bottling of vividly-coloured juice, made from 100% Zweigelt, a grape known for its inky pigment. As the big bottle would lead you to believe, this is pure and simple wine for the table - not the most complex, but highly sating and delicious. Fill your glasses!! Find out more.
