A wise man once said, ‘Make it red!’, and he was right! This host of decadent reds, including a BONUS 3 x Gold-medal winning Heirloom Vineyards Touriga valued at $40, is a selection worth savouring. They’re robust and complex, just like the jolly man in the red suit himself – just what’s needed after the hard work of Christmas! Amazing value at just $16 a bottle, usually $20-$45 RRP.
Gold medal-winning Brand's Laira Blockers Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is Coonawarra Cabernet at its best, with a charming mix of fresh, primary fruit, and secondary complexity creeping in to good effect. It’s a gentle giant with brooding, mouth-filling blackberry, liquorice and prune, deep and long tannins, bright balancing acidity and delicious barrel spice.
Durif originated in the Rhône Valley of France, but has been grown in Rutherglen for over a century. It’s a variety that makes bold wines, like this 2019 beauty from De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate! It displays an intense palate with lashings of inky dark plum, prune and dark cherry, satiny and rounded mouthfeel, espresso-like tannins and plenty of charry oak. Sweet, rich and ripe.
Your BONUS bottle worth $40, the Heirloom Vineyards Touriga 2019, is deep, dark and bursting with fruit flavour and tannin presence, and there’s little doubt as to why it has picked up multiple gold medals. It’s dense and muscular with massive tannins giving structure and saturating the intense core of black fruit. Absolutely glass-staining and one for the cellar.
