What Sean Is Drinking This Week

Johnny Q Shiraz, Australia

John Quarisa has 24 years experience making some of Australia’s most successful wines including stints with McWilliams Nugen and Casella. He is a very well respected show judge and has won two of Australia’s most prestigious wine making trophies the Jimmy Watson and the Stodart trophies. John takes a very relaxed fun attitude to lifes challenges and has created the Johnny Q range to reflect this laid back style. The wine is a very recent arrival in the UK and we are amongst the first stockists.  What I like about this wine is that it has great fruit but it is not an over the top fruit bomb as the fruit is restrained here by good accidity and smooth tannins.  If you like bold smooth wines then I can heartily recommend Johhny Q Shiraz.
