Walking the vineyards with our buyer, Dan, winemaker John Quarissa said, “You just can’t take life too seriously”. Constantly on the pursuit to create new and exciting wines, the larger than life ‘Johnny Q’ has crafted a new range, which encapsulates his love of live. This heart-warming, approachable red is full of character made from the perfect blend of spicy Shiraz and lively Viognier, like they do in the Rhône. A portion of the wine was aged in oak, lending smoky aromas to the wealth of ripe berry fruits. Now carrying five years' age, it’s wonderfully mellow and easy going. This 2016 has seen great success, bringing in multiple Gold and Double Gold medals. You’ll want to treat your friends to a bottle at your next dinner invite.

"With five years maturity this red from Johnny Q is still packed with fruit and hugely drinkable" Daniel Parrott
