European Reds Dozen

From the sun-blessed south of France, enjoy the luscious dark fruit and delicious wild herb aromas of Gold-medal La Porte des Princes Grenache 2022, then head to Italy’s famed Tuscany for a classic Chianti from the great Paolo Masi, bright with spice and velvety fruit. Down to Italy’s sun-drenched south next, for the mighty Pillastro Primitivo from Puglia, a lavish black plum-filled star dazzling with high points and two Double Gold! More Gold can be found in Portugal’s Rocksand Shiraz – a lusciously deep style similar to the big styles of South Australia. It’s a beauty! Head to Spain for even more Gold with a velvety Valdepeñas Gran Reserva (8 years old and drinking beautifully now) and the extraordinary Camino de Seda 2023, a FIVE-time Gold-winning Monastrell (aka Mataro or Mourvèdre) treasure. If you love your European reds, this is an absolute must-have selection!
