Welcome to the first Episode of IN VINO. This week we drink Koerner The Clare 2018, we put a Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz through the blender to see if it aerates faster than decanting, and we discuss everything from Champagne Sabrage too smashing bottles over the back of a boat.

We drank:
2018 ‘The Clare’ Red Wine. 12.9% Alc.
30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Petit Verdot, 20% Malbec & 20% Cabernet Franc.
The Clare is a super cool wine from the Vivian, Attunga, and Bass Hill Vineyards in the Clare Valley. The wine has minimum intervention, no fining or filtration, and the fruit is all fermented with it's indigenous yeast. We love this wine and describe it as extremely drinkable with nice red fruits, bright acidity, and a fresh minty finish.
We recommend you eat it with spring lamb or eggplant dishes.
