Here you are front of queue for three wines that don’t just shake your hand and say “g’day”. They wrap you in a big, cuddly bear hug too!
Like the best Aussie reds, they match the personality of their winemaker – and yet you will also get change from £10 too.
They’re from Australia’s hottest winemaker, John Quarisa – or Johnny Q as he’s known – who for 20 years has worked long hours at some of Australia’s best wineries, including McWilliam’s, Casella and Nugan Estate. He always dreamed of setting up on his own – but kept putting it off, getting grumpier year by year. Finally wife Josephine ‘spat the dummy’ (as they say in Oz) and told him to get a ****** move on! So Johnny Q did.
Now he works even longer hours – but making his OWN wine, at his OWN winery. Shot In The Dark is already a favourite, while The Great Bonza and Q Malbec are new. You can buy them individually or take advantage of their only UK outing in the showcase.
