The Magnificent Crowing Cockerel Grenache Syrah Mourvedre 2009

• Adi's flair and mild madness pull together to deliver some of the most exciting (and super-tasty) wines is all of South Africa.
• Old bush vines make ridiculously good blends that ape some of the character of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Adi Badenhorst, a legend in our view, pays hommage to one of his favourite Old World numbers: Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Grenache, Mourvedre blend is a classic Châteauneuf one, and delivers the same kind of throaty, richly endowed glory. A man on a mission, a wine on song.

La Multa Doble Pasta GSM 2008

Type: Grenache blend

Made by our old friend Norrel Robertson, who makes wine from the best vines in Calatayud in central Spain. His wines are all remarkable. This one possibly the most remarkable. There's an awesome array of toothsome flavours here and a girth that would embarrass most Aussie blockbusters.
