When it comes to natural resources for winemaking, there are few places to beat Argentina. Sun, clear air, cool elevated vineyards and great winemaking skills, and the country has proved it with some world class wines. The Waxed Bat is a triumphant creation from our good friend Opi Sadler, winner of two international Trophies to date and winemaker at Andean Vineyards. This terrific wine is named after the bat that, when Opi was a boy, knocked over a candle and left wax prints all over his grandfather’s cellar. Spicy, liquorice scented Shiraz, cassis laden Cabernet and dense Malbec create a wine with bags of ripe fruit. Smooth enough to drink on its own and great with spare ribs, steak or kebabs (veggie or meat) or simple sausage and mash.

"Smooth velvety red. Wonderful fruity taste with some spice. Easy to drink, would highly recommend" 5-Star Online Review
