Gold-Medal International Reds Dozen

Join us on a first-class taste tour and explore a wide world of flavour glass by glass, with outstanding champions from five top winemaking countries. You’ll save $114 on two bottles each of six international champions at $19.99 a bottle.

Let’s start in France’s premium Bordeaux region, where winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua likes to challenge rules – and for Le Bourg he’s taken two cuvées of delicious Merlot from two vintages – warm, ripe 2022 and the fresher 2023 – to Gold-winning effect. You’ll love it. Then head south for a rich, luscious, cassis-laden Cabernet with Bordeaux-style finesse.

Vinha do Fava is a barrel-aged pure Touriga Nacional from Portugal’s Casa Ermelinda Freitas run by the much-awarded Leonor and daughter Joana Freitas. It’s a true champion that has won a Trophy, and 34 Golds (including two Grand Golds and two Double Golds) in nine vintages.

Italy offers a Triple Gold velvety Merlot, and a juicy bright red from Sicilian winemaker Dino Taschetta and local Frappato grape. It’s a wine made without compromise – even the bottle is made from recycled glass. Finish up this impressive taste tour with a terrific rare blend of super dark and juicy Merlot, Cabernet and Shiraz from South Africa’s Robertson region. This is a first-class taste tour at economy prices.
