Description

Ryan O'Meara at Express Winemakers is making fun wines with a serious edge out of WA's Great Southern region.

This red is a great case in point. The Drinking Wine is built for ultimate smashability, a wine to slug down during a casual luncheon or to rip the top off when unexpected friends drop by.

It's made from Shiraz (70%), Pinot Noir (21%) and equal parts (4.5%) Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. all from organic farms across Margaret River and Great Southern.

This is the best version of this wine to date - juicy, crunchy and brimming with life. It's hard to imagine a red wine that is easier to drink.

    Summer red

    This wine is all about chilling. Cool it down, relax and chill with a glass. Incredibly quaffable but nothing serious.

The 2023 Drinking Red is a delicious blend of Shiraz (70%), Pinot Noir (21%) and equal parts (4.5%) Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Shiraz and Cabernet are sourced from the organically managed Lecco Vineyard in Mount Barker―a site previously leased by Ryan and one he still consults to―while the Pinot, also from Mount Barker, hails from Crystal Brook Vineyard. The Malbec is sourced from the L’enclos du Tertre site in Frankland River. Ryan picks the Syrah and Pinot Noir early to capture freshness and natural acidity and presses them immediately to tank for fermentation. This lightly coloured rosé-style wine was then steeped on the Malbec skins for a short period before all components were blended together. The wine then matured in tank before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
