Operating out of Clare Valley and McLaren Vale, winemakers Col McBryde, Jen Gardner, and Nic Bourke are legendary for pushing winemaking boundaries, marrying small-batch craftsmanship with striking, pop-art pulp fiction labels. Squid's Fist pairs Italian elegance with Australian power to create an irresistibly unique red blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine stands out for its clever, unconventional blend of Italian Sangiovese and classic Aussie Shiraz. Sangiovese brings bright sour-cherry crunch, savoury herbs, and lively acidity, while Shiraz provides lush, dark plum weight and sweet spice. The result is a wonderfully balanced, food-friendly red that delivers rich fruit depth without ever feeling heavy, wrapped in one of the most iconic and eye-catching wine labels in modern Australian viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are carefully sourced from select premium vineyard sites across South Australia. The Sangiovese and Shiraz blocks are managed with a focus on low yields and concentrated flavours. In the cellar, the winemakers employ artisanal techniques, including minimal intervention, cool temperature fermentations, and gentle basket pressing. The wine is aged in seasoned oak barrels to allow the fruit and natural tannins to harmonise without being overpowered by heavy wood influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePouring a vibrant ruby-purple in the glass, the nose opens with an expressive bouquet of tart red cherries, fresh raspberries, and dark plum, backed by earthy hints of dried oregano, leather, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, delivering a juicy surge of wild red and dark berries. The vibrant acidity from the Sangiovese cuts through the rich Shiraz fruit, supported by fine, dusty tannins on a long, savoury finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its brilliant balance of rich fruit and bright Italian-style acidity, this red blend is an outstanding partner for rich, savoury foods. It pairs magnificently with wood-fired pepperoni pizza, rich bolognese, braised beef short ribs, and grilled lamb chops. It is also an ideal companion to charcuterie boards, gourmet burgers, and aged hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Varieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSangiovese, Shiraz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Squids Fist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54788095476055,"sku":"109323","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/6824\/7127\/files\/Squids_Fist_Sangiovese_Shiraz_2020_Some_Young_Punks_75cl.jpg?v=1787928430","url":"https:\/\/www.drinkfinder.co.uk\/products\/squids-fist-sangiovese-shiraz-some-young-punks-75cl","provider":"Drink Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
