With the sun beaming down and Summer finally feeling like it’s in full swing, we thought it was time to shout about some of our favourite kinds of wine to drink in the sun:
Pink and red chillers!
People often ask us about the lesser-known ‘red-chiller’ category, unsure of which wines best suit some time on ice. So, we thought we’d line up some of our favourites to take the guesswork out for you.
From the light, mineral driven rosé’s we know and love, to wild rosados with a little more flesh on their bones, we’ve got deep pet-nat rosé, juicy light reds and category defying field blends.
Thirst-quenching bottles best enjoyed straight from the ice bucket, drunk perfectly chilled.
That’s your picnic-wine sorted!

Domaine de l'Octavin
Corvée de Trou Trou 2020

A stunning example of this highly Jura-specific red grape. The wine gives off the most wonderfully exotic cinnamon and toasted peppercorn aromas, which float above a delicate, silky body of red cherry and forest berry fruits. Truly singular stuff and from a lauded cult producer with a deft, gentle hand. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Raoul 2023 MAGNUM

Vivid ruby Carignan and another delightfully light, luminous vintage, already to drinking superbly in its youth. Fruit is freshly crushed black and red cherry with a herbal lilt of wild fennel garrigue and light balsamic twang, towards a lovely sense of limestone minerals in the finish. Truly compelling wine, in the sense that once opened a bottle does not last for long! Find out more.
