The Wine
When ripened by the Aussie sunshine, cassis laden Cabernet and rich, spicy Shiraz make the perfect partnership. And Shot in the Dark, from John Quarisa’s family winery, is the perfect example of this style. Easy going, but with plenty of substance, it’s just as good sipped solo as it is with food. It’s the type of red John longed to make while crafting wine for some of the biggest names in Australia. Today, with the help of his wife Josephine and the inspiration of their three children, he crafts award winners like this. ‘Passion for Life’ is the family motto, and already, despite their fledgling status, they boast four stars from Aussie wine guru James Halliday. Supple and fruity, this red is tasty on its own, yet versatile with food.
"Smooth, well structured and brimming with fruit, John’s Shot in the Dark has landed bang on target"
