Product Description
Colin McBryde is not your conventional image of a man with a PhD. His shaved head and full body tattoos are a long way from the conventional lab geek. But when you realize that Some Young Punks, is all about a punk attitude to winemaking, it all starts to make sense. Along with partner Jen Gardner and her family, who own Adelina in the Clare Valley, add Nic Bourke and creative pop art packaging, you have Some Young Punks. Seriously good booze with seriously good attitude! We wanted to do something that had been done before, to make exceptional wine with small estate charm. The ethos is simple, self centered, and just a little arrogant – We make charismatic wines that are true to what we think ‘wine’ should be about. If someone doesn’t like the way we do it then they had better put the bottle down because there’s already not enough to go around. It is okay to judge a book by it’s cover; we judged the covers of books to decide on these labels. These labels are as bright and bold as the wines they clothe. Fresh Classics printed in glorious Punknicolor. The wines almost made themselves. The best fruit always does. But even the best fruit won’t jump into a crusher by itself so we help out a little in that respect. This beautiful tradeoff left us plenty of time to talk and drink and then talk some more. And when it was time we bottled it. Hey Presto!
Deep ruby-red. The black palate of Shiraz is cleverly enveloped in Sangiovese’s savoury limbs in this triumphantly loose-limbed libation. Sour cherries, plums and sweet spices lead to a light silky mouth feel, with firm tannins, raspberries and a pinch of black pepper. The wine is vivacious and fresh with hints of smoke and tar on the finish.
