Winter’s Most Wanted Wines

In the thick of winter, there’s nothing quite like cosying up with a glass of robust red wine to warm your spirits.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a quiet night in, our collection of red wines has something to delight every palate.

Let’s dive into winter’s most wanted wines from Greenskin Wines.

1. Pinot Noir: The Elegant Choice

Pinot Noir is the perfect red wine for those who appreciate subtlety and sophistication. Known for its light to medium body and complex flavours, this wine offers a delicate balance of red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, complemented by earthy undertones.

Why it’s perfect for winter: Pinot Noir’s nuanced flavours make it an excellent match for a variety of winter dishes, from roast chicken to mushroom risotto. Its lower tannin content also makes it a versatile choice that can be enjoyed on its own or with food.

Pairing suggestion: Enjoy a glass of Greenskin Pinot Noir with a hearty bowl of beef bourguignon or a plate of roasted vegetables for a truly comforting meal.

2. Cabernet Merlot: The Harmonious Blend

Cabernet Merlot blends the boldness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the softness of Merlot, creating a wine that is both robust and smooth. This blend offers rich flavours of dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and plum, with a touch of spice and oak.

Why it’s perfect for winter: The full-bodied nature of Cabernet Merlot makes it a great companion for winter’s heavier dishes. Its complex flavour profile can stand up to rich, savoury meals, making it a go-to wine for cosy nights.

Pairing suggestion: Pair Greenskin Cabernet Merlot with a classic lamb stew or a cheese platter featuring sharp cheddar and blue cheese.

3. Cabernet Sauvignon: The Bold and Beautiful

Cabernet Sauvignon is a winter favourite for its powerful and full-bodied profile. Known for its dark fruit flavours, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, this wine also features notes of vanilla, tobacco, and leather, thanks to its aging in oak barrels.

Why it’s perfect for winter: This wine’s high tannin content and bold flavours make it ideal for pairing with rich, hearty dishes. It’s the kind of wine that can be sipped slowly, allowing its complex flavours to unfold with each taste.

Pairing suggestion: Enjoy Greenskin Cabernet Sauvignon with a juicy ribeye steak or a plate of slow-cooked ribs.
