2016 2020 Red Blend Wines

Single varietals are great, no argument here. But there is something magical about a winemaker’s ability to blend two or more different varieties to create something very, very special, that in some cases can be greater than the sum of its parts. Whether it’s the iconic Aussie blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, or a GSM and its variants, or the latest trend towards blending more new world varieties, we love a nice red blend. These are the latest red blends to leave the Tasting Panel grinning goofily with wine dribbling down their chins...

  1. Ca ’Botta Cajo Amarone DOCG 2016
    $180.00
    Ca’ Botta’s highest quality fruit is air dried for 100 days prior to fermentation meaning that 2.2 kgs of fruit are required to make each bottle! This is incredibly, long, concentrated and complex… savour this over a few hours and you may well see black tea, spices, blackberries, cherries, rosemary, dark chocolate, prunes, green peppercorns, and coffee. Stunning. Learn More
  2. Ca ’Botta Cerviero Rosso Veneto 2016
    Special Price $79.00 Regular Price $89.00
    In theory this is an entry level wine for Ca’ Botta, carrying the IGT designation rather than the more favoured DOC or DOCG status. Why? Because this is a wine made using Amarone methods using primarily Amarone varieties with the inclusion of Cabernet which is not allowed in Amarone production… They add Cabernet to build freshness and change the tannin profile … to make something as good but a little different to a traditional Amarone. 2.2 kilos of fruit are needed to make just one bottle. We found herbs, black fruits, cherries, spice and pepper here on a pallet which is both concentrated and ethereal. A cracking wine and an absolute bargain. Learn More
  3. Henry’s Drive Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 2020
    Special Price $30.00 Regular Price $40.00
    An almost perfectly realized blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro, packed with red, blue and black fruits. There’s nutmeg, cocoa, plums, fig and a hint of coffee. Excellent palate weight and smoothness. A joy to drink! Learn More
  4. Jeanneret Hummer Merlot Shiraz 2016
    Special Price $45.00 Regular Price $55.00
    Massive- a big, dark and super rich red wine, yet smooth and textural. Plenty of oak, and good acidity. On the tasting panel, we kinda expected to hate this, given it's 16.3% alcohol – fair to say we were wrong! Learn More
  5. Richard Hamilton Colton’s GSM 2020
    Special Price $21.00 Regular Price $26.00
    Glossy glossy black and blue fruits here in spades. It’s almost like this wine has been coated in slippery teflon. Silky, spicy and delicious. Learn More
