WINE DESCRIPTION
Some Young Punks The Squid's Fist is a bold and flavorful wine produced by the Australian winery Some Young Punks. This wine is made from grapes grown in South Australia, known for its warm climate and diverse soil types. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides, which provide excellent drainage and sun exposure for the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and chocolate. The Squid's Fist is a perfect choice for those who enjoy robust and complex red wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a triumph of academic winemaking principles combined with a commitment to natural processes.The boldness of Shiraz melds seamlessly with the savory essence of Sangiovese in a beautifully balanced blend. Sour cherries, plums, and sweet spices lead to a silky-smooth mouthfeel, underscored by firm tannins, raspberries, and a hint of black pepper. Vivacious and fresh, with subtle nuances of smoke and tar, it captivates the senses. As the reductive notes dissipate with a swirl, the wine reveals a delightful bouquet of ripe red and black berries, violets, black olives, and dried leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it offers dusty, peppery tannins and lifted acidity, resulting in a wine of elegance and sophistication, with a bold sense of power and weight.
