Shingleback make this range, a step up from entry-level, exclusively for Woolworth’s liquor stores: Dan Murphy’s and BWS.

Red Knot, Classified by Shingleback, McLaren Vale, 2017

Rum n’ raisin chocolate, ganache and licorice bullets with cedary oak, pulpy plum and blackberry. Thin and lean fruit profile with sandy, coarse tannins. The palate seems a little shrill and simple without the richness and unashamed drinking fun of the less expensive range.

RRP: $19
