Here is a list of forty-six red wine varieties every winelover should know about. They are all featured in my book What Varietal is That? available in digital or print format.
Here they are unscrambled and alphabetised.
How may have you tried?
See the list of White Wine Varieties Here!
I have chosen these red wine varieties because I think they are important. They are not necessarily the most widely planted. But they make wines that beginning winelovers should aspire to know about.
Some are important in just one country, for example Plavic Mali from Croatia. Others such as Cabernet Sauvignon are familiar and ubiquitous.
Wherever you are you should be able to find a good selection of these varieties in your local off-licence, bottle shop, liquor store or whatever you call it. If you can't, find another place to shop.
Six whites - Viognier, Savagnin, Gruner Veltliner, Vermentino, Friulano, Trebbiano .
Six reds - Sagrantino, Sangiovese, Malbec, Durif, Tempranillo, Touriga.
Together they make up a fine survey of the major alternative wine varieties made in Australia today by some of our best winemakers across Australian regions.
Also available as all reds and all whites dozens.
And at a great price..
