Red blends

Style and selection

Red blends combine the fruit, spice and structure of different grapes. This selection includes varied combinations, from Cabernet and Merlot to Syrah and Grenache.

Origin, vintage and winemaking shape the style. Typical aromas are a guide, not a promise for every bottle.

Choosing your wine

A blend brings together several grape varieties. Proportions and winemaking vary by wine; there is no fixed recipe for the whole collection.

Fruit-forward, lighter examples often suit grilled vegetables or mild meat dishes. Try structured wines with slow-cooked dishes or steak. Sauce and seasoning matter too.
