RED BLENDS WINE

What Kind of Wine is Red Blend?

As the name suggests, a red blend wine is made from more than one grape variety. Classic red blend wine combinations include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carmenere, which are the original grapes used in many Bordeaux blends. Other popular combinations include Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro (aka Mourvedre) – a blend originating from the Rhone Valley in France, but now made in the Barossa and McLaren Vale regions of Australia. The red blend is an offshoot from the red wine family and is best enjoyed with food like steak, lamb, and pasta.

Since the red blend accommodates a wide range of combinations, its colour can vary. Some red blends are light in colour, especially those from cooler climates, while those from warmer climates tend to be darker. Red blends ABV range between 12% and 16%, with sweeter blends usually containing a higher volume. So go ahead and enjoy a red blend after a hard day’s work or at your next family celebration.
