Some Young Punks Naked On Roller Skates Shiraz / Mataro

Wine information: Some Young Punks epitomise the best of New Australia.  The punks consist of  Col McBryde (voted Australia's Young Gun Winemaker of the Year), Jen Gardner (self confessed nerdy yeast expert) and thirdly Nic Bourke.  Like most amongst the new breed of interesting, young winemakers in Australia they aren't moved by porty Shiraz and seeks instead a sense of place and restraint the wines, influenced by the best of the Old World and the New. Col McBryde is  as unimpressed by flash-in-the-pan medal-winners that are short on provenance as he is by being hide-bound to the Old World, and carves his own niche. Yet being media savvy and having a sense of humour allows this ironically quietly-spoken but earnest bunch to market themselves outrageously and to bring a fresh approach to labelling. Expect to see increasingly alarming label sported by increasingly interesting and wholly unique wines. Naked On Roller Skates is a blend of Shiraz 85% and Mataro 15% source from McLaren Vale.

Tasting Notes: Some Young Punks Naked On Roller Skates Shiraz / Mataro shows expressive notes of musk, violets and charcuterie meats. The palate is dense with black fruits, a little quince and juniper spice.

Food & Wine match: Try with hoisin sauce-smothered duck, maple syrup stuck chicken wings and spicy lamb curries.
