Vintage: 2021 Origin: Rheinhessen, Germany Grapes: Portugieser & Scheurebe Alcohol: 9.5% This cheeky little red is exactly what you want when you're craving something different. Manna brings together Portugieser and Scheurebe in a way that just works, think bright cherry and pomegranate with a lovely tart edge that keeps things interesting. There's something almost savoury going on here too, with hints of rhubarb and herbs that make it surprisingly food-friendly. It's got that ruby-red colour that catches the light nicely, and the whole thing drinks with an easy, refreshing quality that's perfect for those times when regular reds feel too heavy. Serve it slightly chilled and watch people's faces light up when they realise how good it is, with everything from cheese plates to roasted vegetables.
