Region – Roussillon

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!

Les Foulards Rouges

Mataburro
Quartet 2022

Quartet is a Mourvèdre & Grenache blend, nimble and lithe, as is the Mataburro way. Despite the baking heat of the location it's got that lovely balance of deep, ripe fruit flavours whilst being simultaneously light on its feet and brimming with energy. Find out more.
