Description

In the words of father-and-son Bob and Tom Colman, this 'Sambo' red wine blend "is bright, fun and extremely smashable."

Frankly, This Wine Was Made By Bob is one of the more creative natural wine projects in NSW, and this wine is a great example of what the Colmans are all about. It's a blend of whole bunch Merlot, carbonic Cabernet Sauvignon, skinsy Pinot Gris, early-picked Chardonnay and a sprinkling of Sauvignon Blanc skins!

All of this combining to great effect to create the ultimate fridge red - full of bright red fruits, subtle spice and thirst-quenching energy. Delish!

93 points - "Merlot, some whole bunch in that, carbonic cabernet, long macerated pinot gris, early picked chardonnay fermented on sauvignon blanc skins. Lots going on here! “It’s something that helps me learn more doing all these techniques”, says winemaker Tom Colman.

This is a really good light, fresh red. Perfect for chilling, it almost asks to find that cool crunch amongst the bright, brambly berry fruit characters and faint seaweedy elements. Great extension of flavour, vibrancy, huge energy in each glass and thirst-quenching all up. Wonderful wine." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Merlot, cabernet sauvignon, pinot gris, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc

This wine illustrates the many layers of varieties and winemaking technique to produce a harmonious beverage that goes damn well with a sambo. It is a combination of destemmed skin contact pinot gris, carbonic cabernet sauvignon, 30% whole bunch merlot and very early picked chardonnay that was fermented on sauvignon blanc skins. It is bright, fun and extremely smashable. Big congrats to our interns - they truly nailed each element. You'll love it as much as we do.
