It looks like summer is going to be a sizzler! So in honour of all this fabulous sunshine (long may it last) and so many opportunities for alfresco dining, here at BM HQ, we have put together a Black Market exclusive selection of European reds perfect for the summer BBQ. This collection knocks it out of the park of quality & value, each wine is smooth as silk and chocka full of ripe fruit flavours.

So invite your friends over, fire up the coals and tuck into this mix.

Collection includes:

3 x Portuga Lisboa Vinho Tinto 2020 (Portugal)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Berliner Wine Trophy 2023
AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Austrian Wine Challenge 2022

Portuga is the perfect weight for summer sipping. Lovely aromas of ripe red fruit and forest fruits. In the mouth, its smoothness is what stands out the most, accompanied by delicious oak notes thanks to a four-month aging in oak barrels. With a long and refined finish, this is a wine that will surely leave fond memories.

3 x Le Village du Sud Syrah 2021 (France)

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023

"Attractively ripe and nicely lifted, the bouquet shows ripe cherry, olive, mixed spice and rich floral aromas, followed by a juicy palate that's supple and lingering. Fine tannins provide elegant frame, finishing lingering and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023

3 x  Ignacio Marín Montefeliz Garnacha 2021 (Spain)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard International Wine Challenge 2023

"This brilliantly priced red is varietally expressive and immediately appealing with perfumed aromas of sweet raspberry, plum, olive and floral on the nose, followed by a juicy palate that is supple and smooth. The wine offers bright fruit intensity and a lingering silky finish, making it delightfully drinkable." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

AWARDED 91/100 POINTS & 4.5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023
