Bloody Good Red 

Introducing the ‘Bloody Good Red’ wine fundraising project, launched in collaboration with The Snowdome Foundation and Naked Wines Australia during National Blood Donor week.

Calneggia Family Vineyard’s owner Mike Calneggia sadly lost his Dad Jim to Multiple Myeloma (a very aggressive blood cancer) and since that time the Calneggia Family has had a vested interest in ‘making hope real’ for Australian blood cancer patients.

The ‘Bloody Good Red’ wine is a 2018 Western Australian Shiraz that is elegant and smooth with aromas of lifted spice and white pepper over ripe blackberry, with assertive yet soft tannins that makes it a ‘bloody good drink’. 

This wine is being sold exclusively through Naked Wines Australia with part proceeds being lovingly donated to the Snowdome Foundation to fund Blood Cancer Research. So, if there was ever a reason to drink this is it! By snapping up this ‘Bloody Good Red’, you’re not only supporting a bloody good cause, you are getting to drink a magnificent Western Australian Shiraz.
