2024 Airlie Bank Gamay Grenache

This is the kind of red that proves not every bottle needs to be big and serious. Juicy raspberry and bright red fruit meet a little spice in a fresh, light-on-its-feet style that's ridiculously easy to drink, and even better with a slight chill. It's fun, seriously refreshing and exactly the sort of red we want hanging around when the weather warms up, which is why it made the cut.

What to eat with it?

Keep things casual. Pizza, charcuterie, grilled chicken, burgers or anything straight off the barbecue will work a treat, and it's a cracking red to take along when you're not quite sure what's being served.

Drink now or later?

Now. This one's all about freshness, juicy fruit and easy drinking, so stick it in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before opening and get into it.
