BLACK FRIDAY IS HERE! And of course Black Friday calls for one of the BIGGEST deals ever. And what better than to give you 15 bottles of the inkiest, most decadently deep black reds we could find, from France, Italy, Portugal and Australia. These are AMAZING!
First up, France’s mighty Le XV du Président 2023, the ‘King of the Big Reds’, one of our biggest bestsellers of all time. It owes its lavish intensity to Grenache from vines (some over 100 years old!) that grow on the rocky slopes of the Pyrenean foothills in the Montagne Noire in France’s south. It’s an absolute cracker. Italy’s sun-drenched south also turns out magnificent black reds, especially in Puglia, a region home to “sensational bargains of real soul” (Robert Parker). Simone Cortese’s La Fonte d’Oro 2024 is made from semi-dried Primitivo and Negroamaro, whilst Andrea Bernardini’s Gold-winning turbo-charged Corsiero Nero Purosangue 2024 is made purely with fine Nero di Troia. Both will floor you with their black red intensity.
Head to “exciting” Portugal (Wine Spectator) for the power-packed Rocksand Shiraz 2023, dazzling with Gold. (The Independent has also named Rocksand one of the ‘12 Best Portuguese Wines’ and ‘Best for a Meat Feast’. We’d agree with that!) Last, head Down Under for the Black Stump Reserve Shiraz 2023 – a supercharged, Gold-medal & 90pt BIG Aussie Shiraz from the beautiful Clare Valley. Our customers just LOVE this wine, and yes it’s bigger than anything this side of the black stump!
