The Waxed Bat Reserve 2011

Endless sunshine, crystal clear air and cool, elevated vineyards give Argentina all the ingredients for world class wines. Our good friend Opi Sadler (winner of two international Trophies to date) is the man behind Waxed Bat. Here Opi has produced a special Reserve edition – last vintage was a Gold medal winner. It combines the finest, rich, curranty Cabernet and dense, spicy Malbec – the two finest red grapes of Argentina – from specifically selected plots, to create a wine of seductive power and complexity. A year’s ageing in top quality oak barrels puts the finishing touches to this luxurious cuvée. Smooth enough to drink on its own, it shows at its best with roast lamb or tender prime steaks. Decant an hour in advance.
