So drinkable, you don’t need to think about it. Could be fruit rich, or juicy, or just generally yum!

Drinkability Guide: Guzzle

Chilled reds can be a real treat because of the taste experiences that we gain by decreasing the serving temperature. Fruit character gains more tension, and the structure becomes more crisp (whether that be in acid or in tannin). Generally, the best candidates will have lower tannin levels, more fruit-forward profiles, more acid, and forthcoming aromatic profiles.

Depending on the winemaking style and the region’s climate, there are some grape varieties that can lend themselves to this more than others - think Gamay, Pinot Noir, new world Grenache, Zweigelt, Bläufrankisch - but there are no hard and fast rules. In terms of winemaking, a process like carbonic maceration (like you’ll find predominantly in Beaujolais, but increasingly throughout the world with a number of different varieties) lends itself to creating wines that can be excellent for chilling. 

Lots of the red & white blends that you’ll spy in the Lo-Fi sections of our stores lend themselves beautifully to chilling, with the aromatic profiles of the white grapes complimenting the juicy fruit character of the red varieties.

Straight up Barbera comes from Tumblong Hills' Gundagai vineyard, and undergoes spontaneous fermentation as whole berries, with a portion of whole bunches, before extended skin maceration for 21 days. The resulting wine is bright, fruit-forward and begging for a chill that will only add to the drinkability of the cherry cola sweetness and wash of cleansing acidity.

Fill your glass, put on some Prince and start your own dancefloor with this drop.

Some may call it natural, others minimum intervention, either way, it’s hands off & maybe even a little eccentric.

Wonderful as is, but a slight chill will enhance the aromatics and give it a beautiful crunch.
