Get the gang together, bring on the background music and settle in with this toasty, spicy red. Perfect for a chilled gathering or if you want to spice it up.

Montepulciano is a grape variety that is gaining traction in Australia - both with growers and consumers. The grape's most famed spiritual home is in the Abruzzo region of central Italy where there is sufficient warmth to allow the late ripening grape to develop fully. It's a remarkably well priced example from Abruzzo, and is very suitable as a food wine with its rich and rounded berry flavours proving to be a great match for the usual array of Italian dishes.

Pioneer of the Coonawarra region, John Riddoch, lends his name to the highway that dissects the famous 'terra rossa' dominated region which is home to some of Australia's premier red wine vineyards. The fruit for this evocative Shiraz is sourced from some of these vineyards and is aged in a combination of French and American oak for 18 months to develop increased complexity. Exuding plum and red fruit aromas with just a tiny hint of oak that supports the rich textured palate. Perfect for enjoying today or for careful medium term cellaring.
