An intensely cult Aussie blend. Seldom do wines live up to all the press hype, but here this delightful wine ticks all the boxes. Be one of the first in the UK to enjoy the black attack of McLaren Vale Shiraz cleverly enveloped in Barossa-sourced Sangiovese, it's absolutely delicious.

The Sangiovese grapes are taken from Barossa, whilst the Shiraz is selected from McLaren Vale. The wine spent 14-21 days on skins, 50% indigenous yeast fermentation, pressed to oak for malolactic and maturation. Aged for 11 months in a combination of neutral and French oak barriques.

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 in their 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.
