2024 Virginia Vineyard Red
Andrew was one of the first wine lovers to discover Virginia Vineyard.
For close to a decade, he'd host a party in his Adelaide backyard for the arrival of our new vintage Virginia Vineyard Red.
I'd roll up in the morning and spend an hour unloading cases of the new wine from my ute onto his front porch.
By midday, family and friends would start arriving. They’d put a few cases in their car before heading to the garden for lunch.
Andrew manned the barbecue all afternoon. He'd be sizzling juicy Italian sausages and lamb chops while I refilled glasses with the new wine.
One year, he brought out a dusty, aged red from his cellar with the label covered. He decanted it in front of the crowd, claiming it was one of his most precious bottles.
We passed it around, and the guessing began. People started naming some of Australia's most famous wines.
As the guesses became more extravagant, Andrew laughed before announcing – “it's Joe's Virginia Red!”
We were amazed. The same fresh red we’d been drinking with lunch had aged into a smooth, rich wine full of character.
Today, you’re the first to know - the 2024 Virginia Vineyard Red has arrived!
Order now, and I promise you two things:
1. You’ll love drinking it as a young red that bursts with fresh dark fruits.
2. It’ll age into a serious wine that delivers way beyond anything near the price.
If you don’t experience both, I’ll refund your order in full.

Because life’s too short for anything other than great wine!
