delicious notes of cherry and leather with the addition of subdued minerality. nothing offensive here, smooth as a silk purse. needs some tasty jalapeño and cheese sausage to truly light it up. drink happily with comedic company.

- Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of acetic acid, grapefruit and black currant and has flavours of cloves, geranium and prune - This gem is an acidic and dark fruit wine, the Optimus provides intense flavours of dried fruit and texture of an unfiltered day in the fruit orchard.

- Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of kerosene, natural gas and strawberry and has flavours of natural gas, rubbery and black currant with a full body. Oily texture with a short finish - This fruit forward barossa treat exhibits all the fundamental features of an Austrslian shiraz but with an adrupt finish. Balances well with spicy and rich food.
