Description

Step into the rebellious spirit of the 1920s with the 'Kings of Prohibition' Red Blend, a masterfully crafted wine by Calabria Family Wines. This daring bottle is a tribute to the legendary era of bootleggers and speakeasies, featuring the iconic Alphonse Capone on the label. Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of South Eastern Australia, this red blend is primarily a harmonious marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The wine is celebrated for its deep, vibrant crimson hue and a complex bouquet that immediately draws you in with aromas of strawberry leaf, blood plum, boysenberry, and fresh cherry, underscored by delicate notes of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied, generous experience characterized by dark berry compote, plum, and a sophisticated touch of dark chocolate that lingers beautifully through a long, velvety finish. Its ripe, grippy tannins provide a structured backbone, making it exceptionally smooth and approachable. This wine is the perfect companion for an evening of indulgence. Pair it with bold, hearty dishes to match its intense profile—think juicy, charred steaks, barbecue ribs, or rich, savory pastas. It also stands up well to strong, aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for both casual dinners and lively gatherings. Whether you are a history enthusiast captivated by the lore of prohibition or simply a lover of robust, fruit-driven Australian reds, this bottle offers a memorable experience that brings a piece of history to your table. Enjoy it slightly cool to enhance its complexity and let it breathe for a few minutes to fully unlock its layers of spice and fruit.
