Andrew McPherson has a well-deserved reputation for being a great brilliant technical innovator and made wine all over the world before settling back in Australia. He was chief winemaker for many years, but that honour now belongs to Jo Nash. Wild Daisy is as lively as its pretty label – Cabernet with a portion of cherry-fresh, Italian inspired Sangiovese, so what you enjoy is an Aussie version of one of Italy’s pricey, ‘super Tuscans’. It’s a delicious drop, a top choice at a barbecue, with pizza or pasta. Great solo too.

All hedonists will adore this 93pt, Great Value McLaren Vale Sangiovese. It's "So varietally distinct, cherry scented, spicy, savoury and mineral of feel. This is also frisky, freshly cast and so engagingly drinkable.e...throughly delicious." (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion). The Hedonist is the enterprise of Walter Clappis, who has been making wine in McLaren Vale for nearly 40 years and has won innumerable Trophies and Gold medals. His daughtewr Kimberly Cooter helps him with the winemaking.

The 2022 Riporta Sangiovese IGP from Abruzzo, Italy is an exceptional representation of the renowned varietal. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a brilliant ruby red hue, captivating the eye and hinting at its rich flavours to come. The nose is greeted with intense aromas of ripe red berries, such as cherry and plum, intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earth. On the palate, the wine showcases a balanced and elegant structure, with velvety tannins and a refreshing acidity. Flavours of juicy red fruits dominate, accompanied by notes of tobacco and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sensation of dark chocolate. This Riporta Sangiovese IGP 2022 is a true expression of the terroir of Abruzzo and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
