Son of a Bull wines are wines that encourage consumers to "live in the moment," much like a bull waiting at a gate. They are made to be consumed young and are lively, fresh, and packed with vitality; there is no need to cellar them. Son of a Bull captures the essence of a young bull in all of its unfettered amazement by being spontaneous and uncontrolled and bursting with energy and ready to go.

Pinot Noir,

Not available

A lovely bright red in the glass, this is really entrancing to both look at and to smell. The nose is alive with elegant aromas of ripe plum, red cherry and an undertow of some darker spices and damp earth. There's real depth to this wine, with some heft and darkness in there that will slowly unfold into more fruit. It has sumptuous texture framed by classy French oak. Serious Pinot here.

Silky and sophisticated, this hugely versatile wine works well with everything from tomato-rich pasta sauces, family favourites like chilli con carne and lasagne, all the way through to bistro classics such as beef stew, goulash, and seared tuna steak. Lamb shanks, duck breast or duck leg casserole, olives, bean stews, and beetroot are all also highly recommended with this food-friendly bottle!
