Blue Poles 'Allouran' Merlot Cabernet Franc 2020

Allouran has become one of our biggest selling wines over the last decade.   

Loyal newsletter readers might remember the last time we advertised Allouran.  It was a smash hit and the words I used then is even more poignant with this vintage:

This beats Bordeaux at their own game, but don't expect to see any Bordeaux producer release such a wine at this low price.

By that I mean this wine achieves everything Bordeaux producers set out to do, in terms of taste and style, but not one Bordeaux producer would ever offer wine with this quality at such a low price.  

This comparison I draw between Bordeaux and Margaret River isn't some rabbit out of the hat trick and Halliday writes this about Blue Poles "a portion of the property included a block that mimicked some of the best vineyards in St Emilion and Pomerol, leading to the planting of merlot and cabernet franc in 2001."
