Easy-going reds are soaring in popularity right now. Perhaps the newest grape on the scene is Dornfelder from Germany. Deeply coloured but lighter in body, this prized grape makes fruity, uncomplicated wines with off-the-scale smoothness.
Introducing ‘Dawn Felder’. Not a person, but a wine! And a delicious one at that – made using the Dornfelder grape (get it?), the latest hit red to come out of Germany. More and more customers have been bucking the trend and discovering the delights of lighter bodied reds, like glamorous Dawn. Harvested from Germany’s premium Rheinhessen region, Dawn has an easy-going character - on the lighter side at 12% abv but full of charm and flavour nonetheless. If you’re looking for a comparison, her profile has the soft fruity notes of a Beaujolais with the depth of Pinot Noir. Brimming with fresh, juicy black cherry and a hint of black pepper, Dawn is joyful and uncomplicated. Top tip: this red is great served slightly chilled when the sun’s out.
