"You just can't take life too seriously" -Winemaker, John Quarisa

John Quarisa draws on his extensive experience to deliver Johnny Q, a range which encapsulates his love for life.
You will find his Australian wines as a perfect accompaniment with fun times and lots of laughter.

Sometimes, the most wonderful creations emerge from random, happy hybrids.

Take the cross-pollination of Peloursin and Syrah vines which French botanist Francois Durif discovered. He produced a delicious new grape variety, worthy of his own name: Durif, also know as Petite Sirah. And there begins your journey of discovery: taste the full-bodied, generous and lively flavors, like blackcurrant and plums balanced with spicy toasted integrated oak!

Johnny Q Petite Sirah, New South Wales
"Though midnight black at the core, this wine is impressively fruit-driven on the nose with oodles of ripe blackberry and cassis aromas. The round palate tacks on licorice, flint and truffle. Chiseled acidity and firm but seamless tannins give this wine staying power.
Oak tones of toasted multi-grain bread and caramel grace the lingering finish.”

Johnny Q Shiraz, South Australia
“This wine wallops the nose with an aroma of fresh, deeply ripe fruit, while oak-driven notes of toast, mocha and vanilla extract follow.
The youthful, lush and flavorful palate brims with flavors of ripe black plums and
blueberries, while an elegant structure gives this concentrated wine excellent balance.
The long finish takes on a feathery texture, with a solid mineral tone punctuating the final flavors!”-90 points, Wine Enthusiast
