Pinot Noir: The Definitive Light Red

Pinot Noir is the wine most people picture when they think of a light red, soft tannin, bright red fruit and enough acidity to pair with everything from salmon to roast chicken. It is the largest single variety in this collection for good reason.

Gamay and Grenache: Bright, Juicy Alternatives

Gamay, the grape behind Beaujolais, is even lighter and juicier than Pinot Noir, built for easy, chillable drinking. Grenache sits a touch fuller, closer to medium bodied, but its soft tannin and red fruit character still make it a natural fit for anyone who finds a full bodied Shiraz too heavy.

How to Choose the Right Bottle

If You Are New to Light Red Wine

Start with a Pinot Noir, the most widely available and easiest style to find a food match for while you get a feel for what light bodied actually means.

If You Want to Serve It Chilled

Reach for a Gamay, it is one of the few reds genuinely built to be served slightly chilled, especially in warmer weather.

FAQS

1. What makes a red wine light bodied? +

Body describes how a wine feels in the mouth, driven by tannin, alcohol and acidity, rather than how dark it looks in the glass. Light bodied reds like Pinot Noir and Gamay have lower tannin and a softer, brighter finish than full bodied styles like Shiraz.

2. Is Nebbiolo a light bodied wine? +

Not usually. Nebbiolo is famously pale in colour, similar to Pinot Noir, but it is typically high in tannin and considered a full bodied wine, a classic example of colour not matching body.

3. Is Grenache a light or medium bodied wine? +

Grenache generally sits in the medium bodied range, a touch fuller than Pinot Noir or Gamay, but still noticeably softer than Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon.

4. Can light bodied red wine be served chilled? +

Yes, Pinot Noir and Gamay in particular are often better slightly chilled, around 13 to 16 degrees, rather than at room temperature.

5. Do you deliver light bodied red wine Australia wide? +

Yes, we deliver Australia wide, with easy returns if a bottle is not what you expected.
