Back by popular demand, Wolf Blass is again rewarding Australian sporting fans by providing one lucky winner the chance to attend a decade of AFL or NRL Grand Finals with a mate.
Following the success of the 2019 competition, Wolf Blass – one of the world’s most successful and awarded wineries – again toasts a nod to the age-old debate over Australia’s favourite football code, by providing die-hard fans the chance to pursue their passion for AFL or NRL.
To be in the running, customers simply need to buy any 750ml bottle of Wolf Blass wine (excluding Eaglehawk), keep their receipt and visit wolfblass.com to enter.
Nathan Buckley, who returns as Wolf Blass’ campaign ambassador in 2020, is all too familiar with the pressure, yet honour, of not only chasing a dream but also playing and coaching in an AFL Grand Final.
“The journey to that elusive AFL Grand Final is one that can’t be reached without a team around you. Together, you challenge and support each other to achieve, working hard to eventually share in the joy of success,” said Buckley. “Our experiences as a football club in the last few years have seen us come pretty close to ultimate AFL glory. We continue to learn from them in our chase for success as a team. That one day in September is a key date in Australia’s sporting calendar. It’s where all teams want to be.”
Wolf Blass’ Senior Winemaker, Steve Frost, worked closely with Nathan Buckley to create a unique limited edition Bucks’ Blend for this year’s campaign launch. The wine is a Shiraz Cabernet sourced from vineyards in some of Australia’s most prominent wine regions including McLaren Vale, the Barossa Valley, and Langhorne Creek. Bucks’ Blend showcases a classic Australian wine blend and reflects the characteristics Buckley believes is key out on the AFL field – strength, adaptability, reliability, and authenticity.
The limited-edition run of Bucks’ Blend has been created to celebrate the launch of the 2020 Campaign and is not currently for public sale.
Nick Powell, Wolf Blass Global Senior Marketing Manager, is proud of the brand’s ongoing partnerships with both the AFL and NRL. “We want to continue to engage with football fans and provide our customers with experiences they’ll never forget, through our wine and through the brands we partner with.”
“We are thrilled to have Nathan Buckley return as our Ambassador for 2020. The essence of Nathan is exemplified through his passion and dedication to continuously strive on and off the field – characteristics that very much reflect the essence of Wolf Blass wines.”
Wolf Blass has been a proud sponsor of the AFL since 2015 and the NRL since 2016.
The 2020 “Win a Decade of Grand Finals” promotion runs from January 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020. The winner will be randomly drawn and announced on 3 July 2020.
For more information regarding the 2020 Wolf Blass was established in the Barossa Valley in 1966 and has grown from a humble tin shed to become one of the world’s most successful and awarded wine brands.
A recipient of more than 10,000 medals and trophies at national and international wine shows, the essence of Wolf Blass wines is exemplified through the passion of its custodians past and present as they continuously strive to produce wines of quality, character, and consistency.
