The Wine The Wine
Australia
Region:McLaren Vale
This extraordinary wine's vital statistics read like a recipe for world-class, bang-up-to-date Aussie red. It takes the notion of a single grape wine variety very seriously. And the idea that the art of wine is nursing good fruit through to bottle unmolested. Giles Cooke and Fergal Tynan work together to do just that, With 80 year old, dry-grown bush vines in Blewitt Springs. It's hand-picked and gently reared in large oak vessels and magical eggs.

"This wine has the freshness that comes with maturation in small concrete eggs that makes it perfect with slow cooked lamb shoulder with Moroccan spices." - Giles Cooke MW, Winemaker.
