Catlin Wines 2013 Single Vineyard Shiraz

The South Australian Drink Of The Week this week, comes from Catlin Wines in the Adelaide Hills.

We tasted it in episode 76 and the team was mightily impressed.

Nigel went sniffing as deeply as Doris Stokes sensing long lost spirits and Steve got the aroma you get from opening a packet of fruit jubes.

On the palate we experienced dark berry fruit and spice.

There were only light to moderate tannins and basically we fell in love.

Steve also had a soft spot because one of his daughters is named Caitlin, so this might become a sentimental favourite.

Hear the gang taste this wine.

Win a bottle of this wine

The Arkaba Hotel has partnered with us so that it can let our fellow wine lovers know you can safely order wine by the glass through their Enomatic System. So, instead of getting a tired glass of wine from a bottle that was opened days ago, which is a dreadful experience for serious wine drinkers, at the Arkaba they can guarantee freshness just like the winemaker intended.

To be in the draw to win this week’s wine, you only have TWO things to do:

1. Make sure you’re on our In Crowd mailing list. This little email gets sent every Friday morning with details about the week’s show. You can sign up here and once you’ve signed up you’ll be qualified to play any of our competitions for life.
