The Good Doctor's Tonic 2016
A hard-working GP by day, the Doctor is a fully signed-up grape-grower and aspiring winemaker by night. His tonic is BIG, bold and dark – a unique, delicious blend of Tannat (rare), Cabernet and Shiraz. We’re not sure what it’ll cure, but it’s tasty.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Being a doctor can be stressful, so what better way to unwind than nurture a few grapes, hand plunge a few vats and guide the precious wine into barrel. This is a delicious collab between a doctor-cum- winemaker and a few grower friends in premium McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. During the growing season Dr Matt keeps an eye on a few rows of vines there and picks out the richest, ripest grapes for his tonic. He makes wine the old-fashioned way – on a miniature scale with basket presses and open-topped fermenters. The aim: to make a red with the firm 'legs' for ageing. He skilfully blended dark, ripe Tannat (very rare in Oz) with Cabernet and Shiraz. A rich mouthful with mellow fruit, spicy oak and mint. Ideal with a Sunday roast.
