Walking the vineyards with our buyer, Dan, winemaker John Quarissa said, “You just can’t take life too seriously”. Constantly on the pursuit to create new and exciting wines, the larger than life ‘Johnny Q’ has crafted a new range, which encapsulates his love of live. This heart-warming, approachable red is full of character. It's made from the perfect blend of spicy Shiraz and perfumed Viognier, like they do in the Rhône. A portion of the wine was aged in oak, lending smoky aromas to the wealth of ripe berry fruits. Now with a few years' age, it’s mellow and easy going. This 2017 has already won a Gold and 92 Halliday points. You’ll want to treat your friends to a bottle next time they're round. It's great on its own or with hearty dishes.
For the 2016 vintage
