Close match 01
Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
Valli · The Whisky Exchange

From Central Otago’s coolest subregion, this Gibbston pinot is delicate but detailed, showing lifted aromas of dried herbs, olives and wild berries, alongside hints of crushed stone. The palate is finely textured, with savoury depth, wild strawberry and a gentle, spicy persistence on the finish. Like Campo Viejo, this is a elegantly proportioned red that prioritizes drinkability without sacrificing flavour—you get bright red fruit, delicate spice, and silky tannins rather than heavy oak extraction. Both wines sit in that sweet spot of medium-bodied finesse that makes them food-friendly and approachable, though this Pinot Noir trades Tempranillo's cherry warmth for wild strawberry's savoury edge. You should try this if you want to explore how cooler climates shape Pinot Noir's personality—Central Otago's Gibbsson subregion delivers mineral precision and herbal complexity that American oak could never coax from Tempranillo. It's a natural next step for anyone discovering that they prefer brightness and texture over vanilla spice.

Smiley Red V6 NV
Smiley Red V6 NV
Smiley · The Whisky Exchange

Terracura's funky South African red hails from Swartland and is made with a Syrah driven blend of grapes. The wine rests in cellars from one to three years, resulting in a full-bodied character with prominent tannins and acidity on the palate. You'll recognise the medium-to-full body and warming spice here, but Smiley Red V6 swaps Rioja's oak vanilla for a funkier, more tannic South African character built on Syrah rather than Tempranillo. Both offer excellent value and crowd-pleasing red fruit, though this Swartland blend has noticeably more grip and acidity—a bolder cousin rather than a mirror image. You should try this if you're ready to experience what happens when you push past smooth and approachable into something with more attitude and structure. The extended cellar aging (up to three years) builds complexity that keeps evolving in the glass, rewarding slower sipping over the quickfire drinkability of Campo Viejo.

Wildcard pick 03
Tenuta Mara Guiry 2022
Tenuta Mara Guiry 2022
Tenuta Mara · The Whisky Exchange

An elegant and delicate 100% Sangiovese red wine from the hills of Rimini at the Tenuta Mara winery. This 2022 vintage was grown using organic and biodynamic practices before aging for 12 months in French oak and concrete barrels. Aromas of floral and red fruits, moving to fresh and juicy flavours on the palate. You'll find the same 12-month oak aging philosophy and medium-bodied red fruit profile here, except Tenuta Mara uses French oak and concrete barrels instead of American, and leans on 100% Sangiovese instead of Tempranillo. The result is fresher, more floral red fruit with juicy acidity rather than vanilla spice—structurally similar but temperamentally different. You should try this if you want to discover how Italian terroir and organic viticulture shape a wine's soul compared to Spanish supermarket reliability. Rimini's hilly terrain and biodynamic farming methods give this Sangiovese a delicate complexity and brightness that proves elegant reds don't need to cost more or taste obvious.
