The Good Doctor's Tonic 2015
McLaren Vale
Loading...
A McLaren Vale GP by day, the Doctor is a fully signed up ‘shed’ winemaker by night. His tonic is BIG, bold and dark – a unique and delicious blend of locally sourced Tannat (rare), Cabernet and Shiraz. We’re not sure what it’ll cure, but it’s tasty.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Story Behind the Bottle
Being a doctor can be stressful, so what better way to unwind than tread a few grapes, hand plunge a few vats and guide your precious wines into barrel. That’s the creative path Dr Matt Cooper took, and, with a few grower friends in premium McLaren Vale and the cooler Adelaide Hills, he was well set up. During the growing season he keeps an eye on a few rows of vines and picks out the richest, ripest grapes for his tonic. He makes wine the old fashioned way – on a miniature scale with basket presses and open topped fermenters. He skilfully blended dark, ripe Tannat (renowned for Madiran in South West France) with Cabernet and Shiraz. It’s a rich mouthful with bold fruit, spicy oak and mint. Decant an hour before serving with a Sunday roast.
