Our 6 Favorite Chilled Reds for Summer
Chilled red wines offer a refreshing twist for summer enjoyment. Low tannin reds with bright acidity can benefit from a chill, enhancing their drinkability in warm weather and making them perfect companions for outdoor gatherings and grilled fare. Whether it's a picnic, BBQ, or a casual evening on the patio, chilled red wines provide a delightful alternative to whites and rosés, adding a cool and satisfying dimension to summer sipping. These are six of our favorites.

Hérisson, Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains Vin Rouge 3L Box
Fresh, expressive red fruit with fine tannins keeping the finish dry. A blend of sustainably-farmed Gamay and Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France. Vegan friendly.
