My Go-To Chillable Red Wines for Summer

Picture
​Air Date: Wednesday, June 12th 2024
Listen to the Podcast!
The clouds have started to break. The sun stays out longer. And the weather is getting warmer, which means that summer is finally here!

And with summer here, I feel like a lot of people lean towards Rosé and White wines but there is another style of wine that you are not going to want to miss out on…and that is chillable red wines!

Chillable red wines typically have higher acidity,  are lighter bodied, low in tannins, plus they taste great now so no need to age them. And they are a great value!

From the beloved Gamay which is often considered the OG chillable red, to Refosco, which is gaining popularity here in the US with its unique flavors, to Cinsault with its bright red fruit aromas and herbaceous spice notes. I’m sharing 6 of my favorite chillable red wines that you will for sure want to be on the lookout for this summer!

So, which of these chillable red wines will you be pouring into your wine glass? I’d love to know! You can send me fan mail with the link above or send me a DM on Instagram (@corkandfizz).
