The Waxed Bat Reserve 2010
With its intensely ripe, dark fruit, the Waxed Bat has long topped our bestsellers list, so in 2010 its creator decided to produce this special Reserve edition. Super charged Cabernet and Malbec flavours are perfectly complemented by spicy oak.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Endless sunshine, crystal clear air and cool, elevated vineyards give Argentina all the ingredients for world class wines. Our good friend Opi Sadler (winner of two international Trophies to date!) is the man behind our bestselling Waxed Bat, which he named after memories of his grandfather’s cellar – wine bottles being sealed with heavy red wax while an occasional bat fluttered in the lamp light! Here Opi has produced a special Reserve edition combining rich, curranty Cabernet and dense Malbec to create a wine of seductive power and complexity. A year in oak barrels put the finishing touches to this luxurious cuvée. Smooth enough to drink on its own, it’s terrific with roast lamb or tender prime steaks. Decant an hour in advance.
Endless sunshine, crystal clear air and cool, elevated vineyards give Argentina
A well deserved Gold for Opi’s latest creation – intensely flavoured, elegant and subtly complex
