Challenge of the Month June

🍷 Red Grapes, Three Ways

Same climate roots—totally different styles. This month’s challenge explores how Mediterranean red grapes express themselves across style, structure, and spice. From soft and fruity to savoury and bold, this trio is your shortcut to understanding body, tannin, and flavour—the building blocks of red wine.

Your Mission and Reward?

You’ll start with an Australian Grenache, full of plush red fruit and gentle spice, before moving to a bright, savoury Sangiovese from central Italy. Then it’s onto a Sicilian Nero d’Avola—richer and darker, with soft tannins and a lifted finish. Three grapes. Three personalities. One seriously tasty comparison. Complete this mission and you'll snag 100 points and the limited-time "Challenge of the Month June" badge. Wines included in this pack: 1x Albenza 'Rubicone' Sangiovese NV 1x Don't Feed the Seagulls Grenache 2024 1x Albenza 'Sicilia' Nero D'Avola 2022 Price includes shipping.
