The Wine
If you steer clear of the big supermarket names and do a bit of hunting around, there are increasing numbers of small, innovative producers bucking the trend and producing Australian wines of quality rather than quantity. And that’s why we have Dan Parrott on the ground in Australia. Our very own Wizard in Oz, he knows the Aussie wine map like the back of his hand – and he’s struck gold with this tremendous find. Here, superior Shiraz provides bright, fresh, red fruit flavours, spice and plummy intensity, while rich Cabernet Sauvignon adds dense, minty, blackcurrant notes. It’s warming reds like this that put Australia on the wine map to begin with. Enjoy with butcher’s sausages and buttery mash, a juicy T-bone or roasted vegetable lasagne.
If you steer clear of the big supermarket names and do a bit of hunting around,
