Welcome to what is Christmas and New Year 2026 here at Bloodwood, Subscriber First Name

 

The Five Ways of Tasting Bloodwood

At Bloodwood we like people who stand up for us and there has been no more important a friendship in wine than the one we treasure with Ian and Pru Cook and their team at Five Ways Cellars in Paddington. They have supported us through thick and thin, through drought and smoke over thirty long years and are still as interested in what we are trying to do here at Bloodwood as they were when we all wore short pants. The Cote-D’or 2016 Coche-Dury and Compte’ may be in the foreground of the Bloodwood tasting table but they are in the background checking out the latest offerings from the Appellation De Controlee De Bloodwood. Cheers and thanks for your friendship Cookies.

Bloodwood Not For Tasting Tasting Pack

For those of you who have been to the cellar door you will notice that there are three wines we don’t offer to taste.

On the order form, you will read that the 2010 Chirac, 2019 Pinot Noir and 2019 Maurice are distinguished with the sobriquet NFT.

Depending on the audience, I explain that the initials stand for Not For Tourists..unless the tasters are locals. Then I explain that those same initials indicate the wines are Not For Townies.. and if the audience is barista or barrister infested, I conspiratorially hint that NFT indicates a Non Fungible Token.

Now this always adds a bit of an aura to those already mysterious offerings and enhances the sales heightening FOMO effect. In fact, it’s gotten to the stage that we are thinking of taking exclusive private cellar door bookings where all the wines on the order form are marked NFT as a way of vastly increasing sales. But that would be cruel in these already brutal times.

So, as a last minute Festive Season offer to you, our ever patient Not For Turning audience, please avail yourselves of this freight free NFT festive six pack and warm thanks for being part of Bloodwood during 2025.

Two bottles of 2010 Chirac - $168

Bright gold in colour with a complex savoury bouquet supporting underlying zesty Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit throughout its delicious palate, this richly flavoured Chirac was disgorged after 150 months on lees. The fine-textured, persistent mousse and lively flavours throughout complete the long and balanced mouth feel of this classic Chirac. Enjoy the savoury freshness and savour the richness of texture so much a part of this unique wine.

Al/Vol 12.5%

Two bottles of 2019 Pinot Noir - $94

Gorgeous bright carmine in colour, this positively gentle Pinot Noir’s bouquet of dusty, cherry chocolate and fresh, lipstick red berry fruits are caressed in restrained, fine-grained French oak tannins. If ladies old handbags have an elegant intrigue about them, then so does this beautifully textured Bloodwood Pinot Noir.

Alc/Vol 13.1%

Two bottles of 2019 Maurice $136

Bruised dark scarlet in colour, the invitingly ripe black fruited potpourri bouquet eases through a fruit dense palate of ripe dark chocolate and vanillin char. Those same black fruits suffuse a long-textured, well balanced fleshy palate framed in fluent, very finely integrated French oak tannins. Gentle medium term cellaring will only add to your enjoyment of this fine wine.

Al/Vol 13.4%

Normally $398 delivered unto your door. Until Friday 13th December $350.
