Description
Tonic Wines is a small batch project being undertaken by two friends with similarly nerdy wine habits.
Glenn is an experienced winemaker with genuinely practical skills…actually quite a lot of them.
Dan’s background is in wine drinking, talking and educating and after a recent stint as a wine-stained cellar hand he now knows about ‘righty-tighty, lefty loosey’ but that’s about it.
Tonic doesn’t really believe in boring wine.
It’s a waste of time for your senses and deprives you of a memorable experience.
Don’t short change yourself; life is too short.
Only drink wine that makes you want to have a second glass.
Fruit from the western Barossa, macerated for three weeks then pressed in stainless steel.
Tonic Shiraz 2020 is as pure and fruit driven as you’d expect, but somehow there’s a savoury interest.
Dark blackberry fruit but juicy and not too heavy.
A little time to open up in a decanter and it will start unfurling.
Peat, dark red fruit and blackberries.
Firmly structured with chunky, chewy tannin.
It’s Shiraz, but Tonic Shiraz – fark vanilla.
