Members Favourites Reds Case

Historically we've offered this wine as a blend alongside cinsault and mourvèdre but in 2025, a vintage that's being called 'the best of a generation', the shiraz was so good we wanted to showcase it on its own. Produced by the ever impressive Riebeek Cellars in the Swartland from vines across the region this is rich, spicy and generously textured shiraz with a core of spiced bramble and blackberry, with hints of pepper, five spice and smoke.

Rocco Pasetti makes the most attractive example we know of this Italian classic. Juicy and bright and bursting with ripe cherry and red plum fruit, with a graphite edge on the finish. A deliciously fulfilling example of this great grape. It's absolutely perfect for enjoying with pizza or pasta dishes of all kinds.

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.

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.

From a member favourite estate from the perfumed 2021 vintage this has a fragrant bouquet of plums, tar and vanilla, with a layered, juicy texture on the palate, concentrated and well balanced with grainy, ripe tannins on the finish. Remarkable value. We are excited to say that the Bassereaus are one of our Wine Society Pioneers for their focus on sustainable methods in wine production. They manage water use carefully, treating waste water and discharging it back, all winery waste is composted, dry hedges are built. As winners of our 2024 Climate & Nature fund, de la Grave will use our funds to help diversify and move away from a monoculture. One project involves planting fruit, olive and truffle trees, establishing pre-orchards which will combine fruiting trees with meadows for grazing and breeding their sheep and horses. They are supported by the local biodynamic organisation and share their knowledge with other producers, and their area was chosen for ‘blue corridors’ thanks to ponds and waterways being reopened for animals who need that environment to thrive and migrate.

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.

Brilliant, fruity and fresh-tasting red made from cabernet franc and malbec, both of which work well in the heat of the Languedoc. The balance is lovely and the fruit flavours are reminiscent of raspberry and plum. Great value.

The 2023 vintage is juicy with plenty of red plum and ripe cherry concentration. 2023 is a vintage that offers lots of charm with brambles and spice with a juicy and supple core. There is plenty of freshness and crisp acidity. This wine offers incredible value and enjoyment. It will pair perfectly with barbecued meats and tomato-based pasta dishes. Thanks to the generous support of our supplier, we can offer it to you with a tempting £12 per case saving until Monday 15th June.

Great-value grenache-syrah blend from the foothills of the Massif Central in southern France, packed with ripe tasting, juicy fruit. The name of this Saint-Chinian has undergone a minor change, but the wine remains the same as in the past. Saint-Chinian is a large and somewhat diverse appellation in the Languedoc. The countryside is hilly and sometimes quite wild, planted with dense scrubland known as garrigue. Vines are planted on well-exposed, south-facing slopes and in the extremely high temperatures of August and September grapes can reach very high levels of sugar, high enough to encourage a race between man and boar, as to who gets to them first!
