2020 Alternative Red Wine Packs

Tempranillo is one of our favourite things here at winedirect.com.au. Here's 3 rippers which you'll be getting 2 bottles apiece of. From one of the Rioja's oldest producers, the Carlos Serres Crianza 2020 which sees high quality Tempranillo spend a year in oak and a year in bottle prior to release. This is a particularly good example, packed with red fruits, cherries, spice, oak and nervy acidity. Bleasdale 2022 - a trophy winner at the Adelaide Show with wonderful red fruits and subtle oak influence. Red cherries, chocolate, supportive acidity and fine tannins. Good at room temp, and also worth giving a 20 min spell in the fridge. Colab and Bloom 2021 - a Gold medal winner from a highly regarded vineyard in Maacclesfield (Adelaide Hills). Medium bodied, with plenty of red fruits, violet, cherry, cola and spice. Learn More

Here's an Imported red sampler to wet your whistle, with Piedmontese Nebbiolo and Barbera, Tuscan Sangiovese, a beautifully smooth Valpolicella and a delightful Tempranillo from Rioja. Each of these wines has been handpicked by us from hundreds tasted at the Prowein fair in Germany, the premier Italian wine buying event, Vinitaly, or from tastings at individual wineries. Only a small percentage of what we taste makes the final cut. Definitely worth a rip. Learn More
