Good wine # 1: Willy Willy Shiraz - 2010



This Aussie Shiraz is a true berry-licious treat. The red's smooth richness warms and satisfies. Cassis fruit and spiced blackberries round the taste and has you grabbing for the next purply-red sip. The deep ripe fruitiness and syrupy liquorice undertones give this Shiraz its unique character. We enjoyed the bottle all by itself but it would complement lamb dishes like a match made in heaven. I imagine it would also go down well with a meaty barbeque on a warm summer's evening.


Willy Willy (yes, I'm not sure where its name originated, it does make it awkward when listing my favourite wines) is made in the Riverina region in New South Wales, Australia. Its creator, wine maestro Bob Berton, has been in the industry for nearly two decades and since investing in his own cellar back in 2006, hasn't looked back.

This sumptuous Shiraz is completely irresistible  - try it, berry berry nice!

Available for £7.99 at Laithwaites
