best red wine uk 2013

1. 2015 Cuvee Les GaletsVinalupa's Emily says: “One of my all-time favourite wines for value for money. Medium bodied, spicy and round – this wine is a great all-rounder as it offers a lot of flavour and texture without being too heavy or too light and dry. Blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan from Rhone, France.”2014 Montepulciano d’AbruzzoEmily says: “From an organic vineyard, made from the Montepulciano grape in the Italian wine region Abruzzo. Light to medium in body, smooth with dark red fruit notes. This wine works well in the summer as it has a good concentration of flavour and mouthfeel but still at only 13% abv.”2014 Flor de MaioEmily says: “A Portuguese blend using the Touriga Nacional from Alentejo. Medium bodied and fruity. This red will work with most dishes but particularly those with lighter meats or with tomato based sauces.”2013 Puy de Dome Pinot NoirEmily says: “An excellent Pinot Noir for the price. This is a lighter, purer style of Pinot, but with soft tannins and no oak.

The bright red fruit and fresh acidity makes it a great red both with and without food. For those who enjoy a chilled red, this wine would work well for you.”2013 Heba Morellino di ScansanoEmily says: “A blend of Sangiovese (the Chianti grape) and Syrah from south-west Tuscany, Italy. The winemaker for this estate is also the winemaker for the iconic Tuscan estate Sassicaia. Well balanced with notes of earth and spice. Excellent for any braised dishes or any barbecued meats.”2014 Le Petit CabocheDevon, of Blandford Comptoir, says: “At a tasting some months ago, I was struck by this juicy little number. The nose is perfumed with raspberries and spices, and the palate balanced and delicious, with nothing of the cheap, boringly fruity character of so many entry-level Rhone reds. This is the kind of Vin du Pays which rewrites opinions about VdP wines, demands to be drunk rather than cooked with or passed over by high-brow buyers. It looks and tastes more expensive than it is, and I'd happily drink it mid-week or end of week or any time really.

2007 Rioja Gran Reserva LagunillaRoma's Sarah says: “This red wine is from Bodega and was founded in 1885. This Rioja spends two years in oak casks and three years maturing in bottle making this wine an excellent value.

Its spicy notes and hint of wild berries adds a touch of fruitiness to this much-loved red wine.”Your cart is empty. UK's Top Expensive English Red Wine - Sedlescombe 2011 Regent, Biodynamic Priced at £69.95 a bottle this is probably the most expensive English wine ever! How can a price like this be justified? Quite simply, because this wine made history - it rocked the wine world. Previously no-one thought that England could produce a decent red wine.

So when this wine became the first English red to win an international award, beating 53 other wines from the more established wine regions of the world in the process, it bacame quite a talking point. So much so that it was featured in The Times on 16th June 2013 and the next day on BBC TV South East today. Another history making point is that this Sedlescombe 2011 Regent red is the first biodynamic English red. So this remarkable wine is worth every penny as it represents a groundbreaking moment in the history of English Wine and could be stored and then auctioned at a substantial profit in years to come - if you can resist drinking it, that is! How does it taste? Here's our description written shortly after bottling in 2013. A colleague of mine who collects fine wines, tasted the wine again in November 2014 and described the wine as "gaining in complexity and still developing". Here are my 2013 tasting notes: "A ripe, smooth and full-bodied red from this superb vintage.

Non-chapitalized and matured in barrique oak barrels. Robust blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry fruit palate with ample tannin. Regent produces excellent fruit for red wine enabling us to produce a hot climate style of red in our cool northerly climate. We hand pick only the best bunches for this red and then de-stalk and crush and ferment 'on-the-pulp' for 10 days. 12% vol. 75cl bottle. We made just 92 cases of this wine, by May 2016 only a dozen cases remain. This wine makes an ideal gift for someone special: a partner, parent or wine lover.
