Red grape varieties – power, elegance & diversity in a glass 🍇🍷

The world of red grape varieties is as diverse as the regions from which they originate. From light and fruity to powerful and tannic, red wines offer a wide range of flavours and countless possible combinations with food. Whether an elegant Pinot Noir, a spicy Syrah, a fruity Zweigelt or a powerful Cabernet Sauvignon – each grape variety has its own character and style.

Red wines are grown all over the world and develop their flavour differently depending on the climate, soil conditions and method of ageing. While cooler regions such as Burgundy or Germany produce delicate, acidic wines with elegant fruit, warmer regions such as Tuscany, California or Argentina produce dense, opulent wines with ripe fruit and spicy notes.

Whether as the perfect accompaniment to meat, game and cheese, as a full-bodied red wine for cosy evenings or as a mature speciality for special occasions – red grape varieties fascinate with depth, structure and a unique taste experience. Discover the best red grape varieties and their ideal food pairings! 🍷🔥
