The Wine
Sun, clear air, cool elevated vineyards and great winemaking skills give Argentina all the ingredients for world class wines. Indeed, Joanna Simon says “As a wine country, Argentina has everything going for it” (Sunday Times). The Waxed Bat is a masterpiece from our friend Opi Sadler, winner of two international Trophies to date, and winemaker at Andean Vineyards. The wine’s name was inspired by memories of his grandfather’s cellar, full of wine bottles sealed with red wax, with an occasional bat fluttering in the lamp light. Spicy, liquorice scented Shiraz, cassis laden Cabernet and dense Malbec create power and complexity. Smooth enough to drink on its own and terrific with spare ribs or tender prime steaks. Decant for extra smoothness.
