The Rocky Ox gets its name from Scott’s daughter, who was born in the year of the Earth Ox in Chinese Astrology. Dependable, deliberate and non-confrontational are all great Earth Ox traits which can be applied to the wine! This blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro is based on the wines of the Cotes du Rhone region in France, made with no new oak and to be enjoyed young. The Rocky Ox GSM follows this style with 8-10 months maturation in large (500 Litre) old (5-8yo) French oak barrels and bottled at 12 months of age. This wine truly shows the strengths of the McLaren Vale region.
2017 Rusty Mutt Rocky Ox GSM
$30.00
Youthful red and purple colours in the glass hint at the bright fruit to come. The aroma shows ripe cherry and strawberry with a savoury/meaty note much like a seared rare steak. Some herbs and spice and fresh mint lightly season this complex wine. The palate feels fine, light and fresh with clean flavours and tight, succinct acidity bringing it to a savoury close. Enjoy with Cantonese style fillet steak, pork ribs, fettucini with porcini and Italian sausage, pizza and Chinese duck dishes. Drink now – 2025
“Complex briary/dark fruit fragrances with hints of spices and light minty notes. Full flavoured ripe berry palate has good complexity, soft tannins and crisp acidity. 5+” WINESTATE MAGAZINE May 2019

Shipping & Delivery
AUSTALIA POST DELIVERY
Generally we use Australia Post for all deliveries.
In most cases, when you place an order the wine will be packed and delivered to the post office the next day. Standard delivery times to most capital cities is 2 - 5 days but this can sometimes go out to 7 days with pickup timings etc.
Express post is not really an option unless you contact me specifically. To express post wine we need to pack it in foam and the cost is much (much) more than I can absorb into my free and discounted delivery options.
Please order a minimum of 6 bottles (Rusty Mutt - 3 for Vermilion Bird) and then in multiples of 3 from there. This allows for the most efficient packing and price. Australia Post is not a charity. When I offer free delivery I still need to pay for it!

The colour is a dark ruby/violet with youthful purple hues. Dark cherries slowly reveal themselves after opening, and savoury meats, spices and plums begin to open up with time in the glass. The palate shows a terrific mix of fleshy red fruits, sour cherry, pomegranite juice and bramble berry acidity.
Enjoy with Spanish omelete and chorizo, charcuterie - particularly cured pork, meaty tapas, pizza with olive, tomato and proscuitto.

2015 Rusty Mutt Original Shiraz
Where Rusty Mutt began. Our Original Shiraz is a medium to full-bodied McLaren Vale Shiraz that ticks all the right boxes. Hand plunged ferments and basket pressing produces great flavour, richness, and well-balanced acidity. This wine will drink well on release or will look great with the few years in the wine rack.

2017 Rusty Mutt Catnip Viognier
Viognier is such a misunderstood variety. Here in Australia, we can produce a highly aromatic, fresh, fruity white wine from Viognier with a wonderful mouthfeel. This lends itself to a very wide range of foods. Many Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai and Korean dishes work well with the texture and flavours produced by this terrific variety.
