The Fireside Reds Edit
Four characterful reds with depth, soul and serious food game. For hearty cooking, long evenings and the luxury of time.
Domaine Jones Fitou — Southern France

Rippa Dorii Crianza — Ribera del Duero, Spain
Tempranillo with poise — blackberries, vanilla warmth and velvety tannins shaped by high-altitude vineyards. A crowd-pleaser with a serious backbone. Best with: steak night, smoky takeaways, board-games gone midnight.
Alma Negra Tinto — Mendoza, Argentina
A secretive blend from Ernesto Catena — plush black plum, violets and cocoa, smooth as velvet but never heavy. Seductive and atmospheric.Best with: movie night, rich pasta, someone who appreciates a top-up.
Trinity Hill Syrah — Gimblett Gravels, Hawke’s Bay, NZ
The Gravel Road From one of the world’s great Syrah terroirs — pepper spice, dark cherry and stony freshness, polished and beautifully structured. Best with: roast lamb, mushroom dishes, winter Sundays done right.
The vibe:
Reds that set the mood — firelight, comfort cooking, glasses refilled without asking. Winter evening, bottled.
