Wild & Wilder, ‘The Opportunist’, Shiraz
Langhorne Creek | Australia
A real blockbuster of a Shiraz. Rich, voluptuous and silky on the palate with plump fruit, sweet spice and a little toastiness from oak.
About the Producer
Wild & Wilder is all about good, clean fun. Working with a merry band of growers, they craft supreme quality wines without taking things too seriously. Founded by Giles Cooke MW and Fergal Tynan MW, they’re involved from bud burst to bottle, ensuring every Wild & Wilder wine is a memorable experience. The Opportunist is made from 25-year-old vines on red-brown sandy loam with clay, quartz, and limestone, grown by Langhorne Creek’s Brett Cleggett and George Borrett. Fruit is picked on the way up to ripeness, retaining whole berries to preserve freshness, energy, and flavour.
