Sparkling Red Wine brings a lively twist to the classic red wine experience. Enjoying bubbles doesn’t have to mean switching to rosé or white, as many red sparkling styles balance rich fruit flavours with a refreshing, celebratory sparkle. On the palate you may find notes of juicy cherry, red berries and subtle spice, often paired with a crisp finish that makes the wine feel light on the tongue.

The key to its charm is the method used to create the bubbles, which can influence everything from the texture to the intensity of flavour. Some styles lean more towards bright, youthful fruit, while others develop deeper complexity with ageing, adding hints of toast or cocoa depending on the winemaking approach.

For food, sparkling reds are wonderfully flexible. They work beautifully with roast chicken, charcuterie, pizza, and tomato-based pasta dishes, as the acidity helps cut through richer flavours. Chill it slightly for the best balance, and serve in flutes or Burgundy-style glasses to preserve the aroma.

If you’re exploring the range of Type wines, sparkling reds are a fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys depth, but also wants a wine that feels fresh, fun and ready for any occasion.
