Exclusive to Dan Murphys. Clever little wine this – taps into the easy attractiveness of juicy Barossa Grenache (and the rest)…
Deep ruby, the nose is all red fruit and little oak, with the Grenache dominating proceedings and adding in some lovely licoricey extra bits before a very easy palate.
Not complex, but ticks the joven box nicely without being contrived. Best drinking: 2016-2020. 16.8/20, 89/100. 14.5%, $18.99. Would I buy it? I’d go a glass or so.
At 18, I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, slogging through physics and chemistry, so a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say, I discovered wine, and my life evolved with a unique dual focus - wine and environment.
Twenty years later and I spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.
I now judge at wine shows around the world, sit on the Australian Wine List of the Year awards panel and was once a Wine Journalism Young Gun (but baby that was years ago).
Currently, I write features for a variety of publications including National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS, plus I'm a former Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert.
In 2019 and 2020 I was voted in the Top 30 Best Wine Critics in The World, and in my spare time, I'm a sucker for punishment and run trail ultra marathons, much to the delight of my long-suffering family. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here

Does it say on the bottle who did the art work on the label?
Sadly this is now in the recycling bin so I couldn’t say.
Bottles don’t last long in my house!
