Here are our top picks for a devilishly good Halloween:
Tinta Barroca, The Fledge & Co 2022 – £21.00
Straight from South Africa’s Cape, this Tinta Barroca is bold and brooding, with deep red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. Its structure and intensity make it the perfect wine to cosy up with on a cold night.

Pierre & Antonin Petit Sauvage Organic Orange Wine 2024 – £18.50
Orange is the colour of the season, and this organic skin-contact wine from France is as playful as it is intriguing. Citrus zest, apricot, and a touch of spice make this one sing with seasonal autumn dishes.

Quinta de la Rosa Douro Dourosa Red 2022 – £17.99
