So just last week I excitedly emailed you about the new
Virgin Hills Collection.
Spanning more than a decade of releases (dating back to 2003) from this cult Victorian winery, it is a stunning vertical of aged wines at a jaw-dropping price.
One wine out of the pack, however, really deserves more attention - the unreleased
2012 Virgin Hills Macedon Ranges Cabernet Blend.
Drawn from one of the best Macedon Ranges vintages of the last decade, this classic red has a timelessness to it that is just magnificent. A perfect cool climate Cabernet from one of the most marginal vineyards around.
If you've not heard the Virgin Hills story before, I'll let James and Huon fill you in:
'When asked, to which vineyard would you point a French wine expert if you wanted to impress him or her with the capacity of Australia to produce a consistently fine wine over a decade? My answer in all probability would be Virgin Hills.' James Halliday.
'Virgin Hills has long held a special place in the hearts of many wine lovers, especially the breed that like to seek out obscure and hard to get' Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald
This new 2012 is an absolute classic release for Virgin Hills too. An effortlessly stylish, elegant, mid-weight Cabernet blend with fine cassis, dried herb and cedar characters, the tannins suggesting that it will be a
twenty or thirty year wine.
What's more, as one of our best customers. I can offer you this special wine at the glorious pre-release price of just
$31.50/bottle (in six packs) - 56% off the winery RRP.
$31.50 for a glorious cellar-worthy red from a famous estate? Incredible. Fill your boots
right here or give my phone team a call on 1300 88 9463.
