Chillable Summer Reds

Don’t let the warm weather scare you from drinking red wine! Try this specially curated mixed case, full of refreshing red wines that are perfect for the summer months.

Can I chill my red wine?

Absolutely. A short amount of time spent in the fridge, or resting on top of ice can really bring out a red wine’s flavor profile! In fact, chilled reds can be just as refreshing as white or rosé wines in the summer! By lowering the temperature of a wine, our perception of its structure is altered: the undesirable flavor of alcohol is dampened, acidity is brightened, and desirable fruity and floral notes are amplified.

How long should I chill my wine before drinking?

• If you have 30 minutes, pop your wine in the fridge.
• If you have less time, try the freezer – but don’t forget about it!
• Or, if you’re keeping an ice bucket available for your whites/rosés, rest your red wine on top of the ice for 10-15 minutes and you’ll have the perfect serving temperature.

Aim to bring the wines to 12-13 degrees Celcius.

What are the best red wines to chill down during the summer?

Light-bodied wines with low tannins, and lots of fruity or floral notes are refreshing choices for warm weather. The 6 wines that you will find in this Chillable Summer Reds Mixed Case will all benefit from a short stint in the fridge and keep your thirst quenched this season.
