Members Favourites Reds

Save £17 on a 12-bottle case. A fruit-forward, juicy and quaffable red. The name was conjured up because this wine is sourced from both banks of the Rhône, with the grenache coming mainly from the left and the syrah from the village of Daumazan, near the Pont du Gard, on the right bank. A great value red that can be enjoyed with or without food. Perfect pairing with barbecued meats and pizza. Thanks to the generosity of the supplier we are able to offer this wine with a saving of £17 on a case of 12 until Friday 11th September.

The follow-on vintage to the hugely popular 2022, this is slightly lighter and more fruit-forward as is the style with 2023 but no less appealing. Plum, strawberry and dark cherry on the nose with a lightly structured, juicy palate with plenty of charm. A great-value, anyday claret that's also available in bag in box.

This generous and spicy South African blend of shiraz and mourvèdre has rich brambly fruit and dark plum flavours, and ripe, easy-going tannins. A Wine Society exclusive and a regular member favourite.

A smooth and expressive Rioja, unapologetically oaky, full of creamy vanilla with real depth of plummy, juicy fruit. It is consistently a favourite of members' year after year. Navajas get their hands on some of the finest fruit from Rioja`s best vineyards. They used to sell the fruit on to the big names, including CVNE, but now, wisely, have decided to keep it for themselves.

A members favourite, this popular Veneto red's opulent style is achieved by partial natural air-drying of the grapes (a mix of merlot and corvina) to add richness. There's bags of black cherry and leather on the nose, with more spice developing on the palate and finish. This is a great wine to pair with rich stews, roast dinners or mid week lasagne.

Popular well-rounded Loire pinot, light and fresh, with bright, red-berry and cherry fruit. Best served on the cooler side, this is an easy-drinking lunchtime red.

A classic Languedoc blend of carignan and grenache, with a splash of merlot adding suppleness. Brilliant value southern French red delivering fresh, uncomplicated fruit and soft tannins.

This wine is sourced from vineyards close to the city of Lisbon and is a blend of native Portuguese grapes, touriga nacional, castelao and trincadeira. They come together to create a generous, medium- to full-bodied wine full of Portuguese charm. Juicy aromas of damsons, plums, black pepper and a mellow earthiness on the nose lead to a generous, fruit-driven but mellow palate. Perfect with beef stews and dishes with earthy flavours, or just on its own. A charming, easy-going and inexpensive bottle which demonstrates authentic Portuguese charm. Bando de Corvos (Murder of Crows) takes inspiration from the story of the two crows which accompanied the first King of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, when he brought Saint Vincent's bones to Lisbon. Crows are now a symbol of Lisbon and appear on the city's coat of arms.

This Chilean carmenère is a good entry-level example of this variety, with its black-pepper nose and ripe, juicy and succulent palate.

‘Pencil shavings, pomegrante, pepper, pot-pourri… all the Ps, actually!’ This southern French grenache-syrah blend is certainly popular, and perennially prevailing, reaching our Wine Championship podium for the second year in a row. ‘Vibrant’ and ‘savoury with lovely black fruit’, it’s also offered at a pleasing price!

A bright and generous 2025, with ripe red cherry and strawberry lifted by a touch of Mediterranean breeze. Combining the freshness of Sangiovese with the supple richness of Primitivo, it offers a juicy, easy charm and a versatility at the table that makes it a reliable go-to, especially with pasta smothered in punchily spiced tomato or meaty sauces.

With bags of vibrant, fresh gamay character from an excellent producer with vines close to Juliénas, this versatile estate-bottled Beaujolais is consistently great year in, year out. Emeringes is a village perched above Juliénas and its vines, often laid out on steep slopes, offer a good source of Villages-quality Beaujolais. The château itself is at the top of the village, next to the church where Pierre David uses the cellars to make his wines.
