Out of Step Willoughby Bridge Heathcote GSM 2014

I like the concept here – Beaujolais meets Heathcote GSM. Fun packaging too.

It starts with a little CO2 spritz, before licoricey, carbonic edged red juiciness with some lovely purple gummy fruit. Juicy, light, a fraction warm to finish, it’s a fun, clean light red for immediate drinking, the dry finish giving this enough seriousness to rise above most light reds.

Fun.

About me – Andrew Graham

At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
