The wine displays plum, blackcurrant, chocolate and boysenberry spice. A juicy palate with persistent flavour and smooth velvety tannins. Vegan Friendly.

The youngest of Frank Potts II’s eleven children, Lloyd Stanley (Sticky) Potts, was a motorcycling enthusiast all his life. In 1932 he entered his first Australian Grand Prix at Philip Island and came second. The front label depicts a young Sticky practicing his speedway “Broad-Side” turns. This is the great Australian red blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Malbec.

Shiraz and Malbec are de-stemmed (Cabernet is crushed) to open fermenters. Careful pump overs to ensure balanced extraction. Drained & pressed after 7 to 10 days on skins, vineyard dependant. Settled for 24 hours before racking to oak for MLF.

Food Pairing: Flame grilled anything, or smoke it up! A classic BBQ wine.
