Red Wine

Red Wine for Cocktails

Explore our selection of red wine chosen for cocktail making. From fruity, easy-drinking styles to richer reds, these wines bring colour, dark-fruit flavour, acidity and structure to classic and modern cocktails.

What Is Red Wine?

Red wine is made from dark-skinned grapes, with the grape skins contributing colour, tannin and flavour during fermentation. Depending on the grape and style, flavours can range from fresh cherry and red berries to plum, blackberry, spice and deeper savoury notes.

Red Wine in Cocktails

Red wine can be used as a cocktail base, mixed with fruit and other ingredients, or floated over a finished drink. Its combination of fruit, acidity and tannin works particularly well with whiskey, citrus, spices and sparkling mixers.

• New York Sour — a red wine float adds dark fruit, colour and gentle tannin to a whiskey sour.
• Sangria — red wine combines with fresh fruit and citrus for a refreshing wine-based drink.
• Red Wine Spritz — red wine and sparkling ingredients create a lighter, refreshing serve.

Our Red Wine Choice

Le Grand Noir Malbec is a versatile choice for cocktail making, with deep colour, ripe dark-fruit character and enough structure to remain noticeable alongside whiskey and fresh citrus. It is particularly well suited to the New York Sour.

Selected for Cocktail Making

Our red wine selection focuses on bottles that work particularly well in mixed drinks. We look for clear fruit character, good colour, balanced acidity and enough structure to complement other cocktail ingredients without overpowering them.
