Wine type: Red

Country of Origin: Argentina
Year: 2020

The Waxed Bat is one of Argentina’s most original and exciting wines, now with thousands of dedicated fans. It’s a sumptuous blend of three great grapes, crafted by the Malbec magician Opi Sadler – a terrific, velvety, black fruit and spice red.

When it comes to natural resources for winemaking, there are few places to beat Argentina. Sun, clear air, cool elevated vineyards and great winemaking skills, and the country has proved it with some world class wines. The Waxed Bat is a triumphant creation from our good friend Opi Sadler, winner of two international Trophies to date and winemaker at Andean Vineyards. This terrific wine is named after the bat, Opi remembers as a child, that knocked over a candle and left wax prints all over his grandfather’s cellar. Spicy, liquorice scented Shiraz, cassis laden Cabernet and dense Malbec create a wine with bags of appealing ripe fruit. Smooth enough to drink solo and great with spare ribs, steak or kebabs (veggie or meat). Open early.
