Fantastic Wines Under $25

Ruby red, with red fruit, raspberry, blackberry and blue plum. The palate is smooth and accessible, with a touch of cream, generous fruit expression, fine texture and a medium-length finish. The fruit is destemmed, pressed and macerated before fermentation with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The wine remains in tank until bottling, preserving its fruit-led character.

Cotton candy appears with black raspberry, blackcurrant and tobacco leaf. The palate has blackberry, black plum and smoked sausage before a persistent finish. This dry red is made from Cabernet Sauvignon in Moldova and contains twelve percent alcohol. Suggested pairings include beef, lamb, venison, pork, pasta, mushrooms, tomato-based dishes and foods with chilli or other hot spices.

Red and ripe fruit lead a generous but precise palate, supported by fine tannins rather than overt weight. Fresh acidity gives the wine lift and keeps the fruit defined through the middle, while a quiet savoury edge adds complexity. The finish is persistent, returning to red fruit with a clean, balanced shape. Pair with roast chicken, grilled pork, chorizo pasta or a simple beef stew.

Ripe red fruit leads with dark coffee and cocoa, framed by a measured touch of French oak. The palate is velvety and generous, balancing rounded fruit with fresh acidity so the wine retains shape rather than feeling heavy. Fine tannins carry the flavours into a long, composed finish with a quiet chocolate echo. Pair with grilled beef, braised short ribs, mature cheese or a mushroom-based dish.
