The Waxed Bat Reserve 2010

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 our bestselling Waxed Bat, which he named after memories of his grandfather’s cellar – wine bottles being sealed with heavy red wax while an occasional bat fluttered in the lamp light! Here Opi has produced a special Reserve edition combining rich, curranty Cabernet and dense Malbec to create a wine of seductive power and complexity. A year in oak barrels put the finishing touches to this luxurious cuvée. Smooth enough to drink on its own, it’s terrific with roast lamb or tender prime steaks. Decant an hour in advance.
