Black Friday Day – Australia vs Europe Best of both Worlds Showcase

A trio of Australian favourites go head-to-head with Europe in a 3 + 3 top-quality showcase – and the winner is YOU – save a huge $224 (that's over 50%) at $17.99 a bottle. What a Black Friday Deal!

In the Australian corner you’ll find the astonishing RedHeads Esulé, an iconic, premium release with two Golds and 95pts. (Vino Masters judges) – using fruit from McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. (And talk about iconic – the Esulé label artwork has been exhibited in San Francisco’s MOMA (Museum of Modern Art).

Dark Corner is a second powerful Durif Shiraz blend – celebrating another Gold-medal vintage for this popular red that boasts a Trophy, 10 Golds and more in 9 vintages. These are joined by Johnny Q’s Triple Gold The Great Bonza 2022. Being Aussie slang for something excellent or first-rate, Bonza is the perfect name for this classic almost uniquely Aussie blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

And representing Europe – Spain, Italy and Portugal: Meet the magnificent, mellow, complex Finca La Selva Single Vineyard Rioja Gran Reserva 2016 from top-ranked family-owned Bodegas La Emperatriz that won top wine prizes in 1878 when it belonged to Empress Eugénie of France! The impressive estate, with 101 hectares of high-altitude vineyards in the Rioja Alta is now owned by brothers Eduardo and Victor Hernáiz.

Scipione Giuliani’s silky, juicy and hugely popular Il Papavero is nicknamed ‘Italy in a bottle’ for its masterful blend of the country’s favourite grapes – Sangiovese from Marches, Montepulciano from Abruzzi, plus Puglia’s Negroamaro and Nero d’Avola, while Portugal’s Portinho do Covo Tinto 2024 is a voluptuous red blend of local hero grapes brimming with rich black fruit from winemaker Jaime Quendera, whose top red was awarded the title of ‘Best Red Wine in the World’ a few years back.

Black Friday is indeed an exciting time deserving a showcase this good. It’s top-quality stuff – wrapped up in a suitably jaw-dropping ‘Black Friday’ deal!
