Wine of the Month
2019 Catnip Viognier
Viognier (pronounced vee-Yon-yay) is a white variety that originates from France. It grows in the warmer parts of the country where Shiraz and Grenache grow well, hence the reason to make one from McLaren Vale. Viognier can produce quite interesting flavours and textures. The Rusty Mutt ‘Catnip’ Viognier has been made in a fresh fruity style. Cool fermented with selected aromatic yeast in stainless steel (no oak barrels) and bottled as soon as possible to capture the youthful freshness. Enjoy with crustaceans, sashimi, fresh Thai spice, shellfish and light pasta dishes.

2018 Rusty Mutt Tempranillo
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.

2014 Vermilion Bird Shiraz
Very different vintage conditions in 2014 have produced wonderfully intense, bright and concentrated fruit aromas and flavours in this wine. The fruit comes forward before even the brand new French oak which contained it for two and a half years. Once you see past the fruit, there's a great tannin structure and ample acidity to bring it all together into a very intense, complex and long-lived Shiraz indeed.
