The grapes

Gamay

Best known in Beaujolais, Loire Valley

The grape of Beaujolais. Juicy red berries, floral notes and low tannin make it a joy to drink, especially served slightly cool. The ten Crus produce deeper, more serious versions that can age well, and the Loire makes light, crunchy examples too.

Merlot

Best known in Bordeaux, Italy, Chile

Soft, round and approachable. Plum, black cherry and chocolate, with gentle tannins and a plush texture. It leads the blends of Bordeaux's Right Bank, including Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, and makes generous, easy-drinking reds all over the world.

Pinot Noir

Best known in Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand

The great red grape of Burgundy. Cherry, raspberry, earthy and floral notes, with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Notoriously hard to grow well, but capable of extraordinary elegance, and a key grape in Champagne and English sparkling wine.

Sangiovese

Best known in Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna

Italy's most important red grape. Sour cherry, tomato leaf, herbs and firm acidity, with tannins that love food. It is the grape behind Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and ranges from light and lively to deep and ageworthy.

Syrah

Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State

A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.

Where it's from

Adelaide Hills

Australia

Cool, high country in the Mount Lofty Ranges, a short drive from Adelaide. Altitude keeps things fresh, making this South Australia's go-to for crisp Sauvignon Blanc, refined Chardonnay and elegant Pinot Noir. Also a hotbed of small, adventurous producers trying new grapes and lighter-touch winemaking.

The story behind it

If you like these, you'll love this: Chillable reds like Beaujolais, light Pinot Noir, or other natural red blends.
