By popular demand, here are six of our biggest reds!

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a big red from time to time. Whether it’s to pair with big food like steak, or sometimes you just want something to hit the spot and assault the senses.

So I’ve carefully picked out six reds that are big on flavour, but uncompromising on quality.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Cordero Hica Barbera d'Alba 2022 - winemaker Serena’s pet project and never sold outside of Italy before WineSpark. It’s a Barbera Superiore, a classification given to the top 20% of grapes in the region. It’s unmistakably Italian on the nose, with flavours of dark fruit, herbs and tea leaves on the nose. It’s rich, creamy and powerful on the palate, yum yum
• La Mateo Tempranillo Vendimia 2021 - one of the very first wines I decided on for WineSpark. It spends 14 months in French and American oak, making it a classic mellow, fruity, smoky and powerful Rioja
• Mauricio Lorca Poético Malbec 2022 - a powerful red from Mendoza, aged for 12 months in French and American oak, and a further year and a half in bottle before release
• Luis Louro Alento Reserva Tinto 2021 - from the best-value region (Alentejo) in Europe’s best-value country (Portugal). A dark and brooding red which ticks every box
  
• Cillar de Silos Ribera del Duero Crianza 2021 - a rich, polished Tempranillo which is the house wine in high-end restaurants across northern Spain - an amazing example of affordable and approachable Ribera
• Martinelle Ventoux 2022 - from a mountainous vineyard east of Gigondas and overlooked by the famous Mont Ventoux, this is a classic Rhône blend made by German-born winemaker Corinna Faravel, one of the region’s rising stars. This red is dark, lush and herbaceous and it has a lovely freshness to it too
