Syrah Syrah makes deep red wines that are bold, dark, and packed with flavour. Expect black fruit like blackberry and plum, often with pepper, spice, and a bit of smokiness. The body is usually full, with enough tannin to give it some grip, and the acidity sits about medium, so it's not too sharp. Syrah is a go-to for steak, BBQ, or anything grilled. It can pack a punch, but it’s generally smooth enough to drink on its own if you’re into bigger reds. You’ll find it everywhere from France (where they sometimes call it Shiraz) to Australia, but the core character stays the same: rich, spicy, and unapologetically bold.
Grenache Grenache is a super easygoing red grape. The wines are usually medium-bodied, lower in acidity, and pretty soft on tannins, so they’re very smooth and drinkable. Expect loads of juicy red fruit—think strawberries and raspberries—plus a hit of warmth from higher alcohol. It’s a crowd-pleaser on its own, but also a key grape in blends, especially in regions like southern France and Spain (where it’s called Garnacha). You’ll find it in everything from rosé to bold reds. Great for people who like fruit-forward wines without too much bite.
Carignan Carignan is a red grape that's all about punchy, no-nonsense flavour. It brings bold, dark fruit and a bit of spice, with a fair amount of acidity to keep things fresh. The tannins can be grippy, so it’s not the softest sip, but it makes a lively, gutsy wine. Usually medium to full-bodied, Carignan is often used in blends to add backbone and complexity, especially in Southern France and Spain. On its own, expect a rustic edge and plenty of character—great with food, less great for sipping solo.

Domaine Laguerre's wines have gained recognition for their quality and distinctiveness within the Roussillon wine scene.
Roussillon Roussillon is in the far south of France, right next to Spain. It’s hot and dry, which means ripe, bold grapes. The main varieties are Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah for reds, and a couple of local white grapes like Macabeu. Most wines here are full of flavour, often pretty robust, and usually good value. You’ll also see sweet fortified wines called “Vin Doux Naturel,” which are kind of a local thing. If you like reds that are juicy and punchy, or you’re curious about dessert wines, Roussillon is worth a look. There’s less hype here than nearby regions, but loads of solid bottles.
Côtes du Roussillon Côtes du Roussillon is in the sunny south of France, close to Spain. The weather here is hot and windy, which means the grapes get ripe easily. The main grapes are Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre for reds, with some whites made from Macabeu and Grenache Blanc. Red wines from this area are usually bold and fruity, often with a bit of spice. Whites are fresh and not too heavy. Overall, wines from Côtes du Roussillon are straightforward, easy to enjoy, and offer good value.
France France is where a lot of the world’s wine rules started, for better or worse. The big regions are Bordeaux (famous reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), Burgundy (mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay), Champagne (for bubbles), and the Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache, and friends). You’ll also find Loire (known for Sauvignon Blanc) and Alsace (think Riesling and Pinot Gris). French wine can be pricey and confusing, thanks to all the rules around regions and labels. But there’s a huge range: from simple everyday stuff to bottles that cost as much as a holiday. Whether you want red, white, rosé, or sparkling, France pretty much covers it all.
