Euro Reds Dozen

We’re off to Europe to sip fabulous reds from France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. You’re invited along – and it’s an incredibly good value trip at a LOW $16.99 a bottle. Here’s our tasting itinerary: first southern France. Tuck into a glass of sumptuous Cabalié Vieilles Vignes (Old Vines). This is the lavish, velvety ‘step-up’ edition of our best loved BIG red hero with seriously intense Carignan giving a boost of inky dark fruit to the soft, spicy Grenache for even more swagger. In Italy, each year Scipione Giuliani, a 5th-generation winemaker selects the ripest, most flavoursome grapes from the top-performing regions. Sip his silky, Italian charmer, to find out why after over 20 years Il Papavero is our most reordered red of all time! Made in Spain's historic, picturesque Taragona, at the Padró family cellar (founded 1898) Monasterio de Santa Cruz sees concentrated, old bush vine (up to 70 years old) Monastrell (aka Mourvèdre or Mataro) combines with strawberry-scented Tempranillo, for a lavish red that’s really hard to resist. Portugal’s voluptuous red, Portinho do Covo is a luscious combination of native Aragonez, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon crafted by star winemaker Jaime Quendera. Absolute treats for your tastebuds at a very reasonable $16.99 a bottle.
