Real Organic Reds - 12 Bottles

You might have made the decision to drink better wines in 2024 and if you have, nobody would disagree. Organic wines may be free from pesticides and sulphur dioxide, but that alone is not reason enough to drink them. It is true that quality starts in the vineyard, in the soils, the vines and the land that grapes are grown. Wines still need great fruit, great winemakers and a great understanding of whether to age a wine in a barrel, tank, amphora or other ageing vessel, or even at all! 

We have so many organic wines amongst the 1500 wines we stock. We are lucky that so many winemakers are practising organic today. We handpicked 6 of what our team believe are the very best organic red wines and have created The real organic Reds Case for you. Here's a little brief about the wines & why you should be drinking them:

Terres Fideles Cotes du Roussillon
Roussillon, France 
2 x 75cl bottles
A Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blend from the very southern part of France, almost on the Spanish border. A wine that retails at €22 and is just €16 as part of this case. It is a very pure expression of the fruit that comes from 10 vineyard sites, with very little ageing in old oak vats, for minimum subtle oak flavour. Give this time in a decanter if you can and we promise delicious, spectacular things will happen when you taste it. 

Pas Curtei
Penedes, Spain
2 x 75cl bottles
In the little town of Vilafranca del Penedes in Cataluña, Irene and Laurent are challenging the traditional perception of DO Penedes wine. Converting their vineyards from the typical Penedes high yields and abandoning all forms of chemical treatment and fertilisers, they follow basic organic practices. A profound perfume of ripe fruit, very well composed with elegant notes of India ink, typical of the Cariñena, leather, coffee and chocolate notes, earthy touches and mild balsamic hints. It's well polished on the palate, with great structure but a velvety texture, having an intense flavour and a very pleasant suggestion of sweetness.

Clos de Torribas Crianza
Penedes, Spain
2 x 75cl bottles
A new Crianza with a depth of flavour, lots of juicy blackberry fruits and wonderful flavours. 

Jean Leon Merlot 
Penedes, Spain
2 x 75cl bottles
Jean Leon 3055 Merlot Petit Verdot is a unique blend for the Penedès region, crafted by the Jean Leon winery. This Spanish red wine combines Merlot from an 8-hectare vineyard planted in 1997 with a larger proportion of Petit Verdot from a 12-hectare vineyard planted in 2006. The grapes were carefully harvested and vinified separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, followed by a two-week maceration with the grape skins. This organic red wine then aged for 4 months in French oak barrels, with additional bottle aging before its release to the market. Moreover, this wine is vegan-friendly.

Gorgeous Grenache Thistledown Wines 
McLaren Vale, Australia
2 x 75cl bottles
Grenache is the grape to watch for 2024. It is resistant to climate change, can ripen easily and delivers bags of flavour. This is a sensational wine that is full of blackberries, and white pepper and spice. It's RRP is €22 but it's yours for only €17 as part of this case! 
 
Campo Flores Tinto Organico 
La Mancha, Spain 
2 x 75cl bottles
A delicious wine from La Mancha packed with blueberries and black cherries. It is a great example of an inexpensive wine that has been made from organic grapes. The winemaker has done very little in the winery, keeping the wine simple but honest. This is a one of our store cupboard essential wines that is found in many home cellars week in, week out!
