Best Summer Reds to Drink Chilled

Chillable Red Wines | The Best Summer Reds to Serve Cool

Not all reds need a decanter and a fireplace. Some shine brightest with a slight chill—light-bodied, low-tannin reds that are perfect for warm days and alfresco meals. These summer-friendly wines are vibrant, juicy, and incredibly refreshing.

In this collection, you’ll find:

• Gamay (Beaujolais, Loire) – fresh red fruit and floral notes

• Pinot Noir – delicate, earthy, and endlessly drinkable

• Frappato & Lambrusco – Sicilian sunshine and sparkling fun

• Zweigelt & Blaufränkisch – Austrian reds with lift and spice

• Chillable new-wave blends from California and beyond

Expect flavors of red cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, and herbs, with a crisp finish that shines at 55–60°F (13–15°C).
