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. 

What is Chilled Red Wine?

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

A delicious and vibrant blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir from the little-known region of Saint-Pourçain in central France. It’s bright in the glass with notes of cherry and raspberry, teamed with some easy dusty tannins.

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