10th Anniversary: 10 Premium Reds

Savour 10 elite reds to mark our 10th Anniversary, and save a HUGE $214. Enjoy opulent releases from southern France and southern Italy in the deep and velvety Cabalie Vieilles Vignes (old vines), and then the sumptuous Pillastro Susumaniello – a rare Puglian grape with a name that roughly means “loaded like a donkey” being packed with immense depths of both aroma and flavour. It’s a real mouthful and not just for its six-syllable name! Both are normally $32). Then enjoy dark, savoury Bentwing Reserve-level Cabernet Sauvignon, a Coonawarra classic, with Gold and 92pts. From a fine estate not far away, there’s succulent Stonehaven Stepping Stone Malbec, with Gold and points galore. This boasts a “real mix of heady blackberries, wild raspberries and licorice allsorts. Crushed pink peppercorn, clove and Szechuan spice” (Halliday). Lastly, there’s the amazing premium DogRidge Original Plantings McLaren Vale Shiraz from some of the oldest vines in the district, planted in the 1940s. It’s normally worth $85 a bottle… Enjoy two bottles of each – and worth repeating that saving of $214!
