New World reds tend to be richer than their Old World counterparts and therefore often seem to fit better with the warmer days of summer when their relative ripeness really shines.
Try this mouthwatering collection for perfect seasonal drinking.
The New World Summer Reds mixed case costs £79 and includes three bottles each of the following four wines.
Nostros Pinot Noir Reserva 2007, Chile: From the cool Casablanca valley, this delightfully fresh wine has floral aromas on the nose followed by a smooth mouthfeel with red fruits and a subtle hint of spice - delicious.
Rooiberg Pinotage 2005, South Africa: Typical of the new style of Pinotage, this is full-bodied and driven by fruit, with loads of blackberry fruit and none of the old-fashioned, rubber-tinged flavours - perfect with rich meat dishes.
Terrazas Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, Argentina: Owned by the Moet Champagne house who have invested heavily in state-of-the-art winemaking equipment, this wonderful cabernet is intense yet full of smooth blackcurrant fruit with touches of vanilla.
Grant Burge Barossa Vines Shiraz 2005, Australia: Grant Burge is one of the classic names in the Barossa Valley where he produces this full-bodied and spicy shiraz which is so typical of the weighty, rich wine styles of the area.
