Each year, Cru Select offers winemakers outstanding new and exciting wines from the world’s leading vineyards. Discerning winemakers eagerly anticipate the Restricted Quantities (RQ) announcement so they can stock their wine cellars with these exceptional and distinctive vintages. These wines have become known as benchmarks of quality for the wine-making industry. RJ Spagnols is particularly proud of this year’s selection of Restricted Quantities wines: Down Under - Syrah, Toro, Down Under - Shiraz, Hang Ten and Tango! We guarantee that you will be proud to craft and serve these wines as well.
These kits are only available through a pre-order process and then one kit will be released each month starting in December 2011 and continuing through April 2012. Please note that this year there are only two deadlines for pre-orders. The first deadline is on November 22, 2011 and it is for the first kit in the series, item #RQ1, which will be released in mid December 2011. The second and final deadline is on December 6, 2011 and it is for the balance of the RQ collection, RQ2 through RQ5. Until the these two deadlines we are offering $10 off all kits when pre-ordered so order now and save!
