Ever heard of We Happy Few Wines?
This is a group of ex-serviceman mates who have banded together to crank out a range of cool climate wines with grapes from the Murrumbateman region.
Their wines are medal-winning and delicious and this week’s “swirl” is their War Dogs Shiraz 2017.
This wine is a fitting tribute to the furry friends that serve alongside our serviceman.
This Shiraz is bright purple with flashes of deep red. The swirl reveals aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries with a pinch of dried herbs and a dusting of freshly cracked black pepper.
In the mouth, the wine is vibrant and fresh with ripe cherry fruit flavours, a dollop of vanilla and a lively acid that delivers a fulfilling and lingering finish.
This is a ripping example of cool-climate Shiraz.
This delicious drop from the “band of brothers” deserves well-seasoned lamb cutlets, grilled on the BBQ and sprinkled with dried herbs – make sure you give your furry friend one too before it hits the grill! Available for $25 online.
