Ive also used it for slow cooking when the recipe calls for a good-quality wine, and its worthy of being used in this way. This refreshingly delicious Aussie Chardonnay punches well above its weight. Citrus, melon and lime flavours collide in the bottle and simply explode in every mouthful. Made from grapes grown on McGuigan's estates in the Riverland region, which lies across the junction of three states in The Murray Valley in south-eastern Australia. The description does nor indicate whether it is a Malbec, Shiraz, etc, but based on other wines I drink it is closest to a Malbec. I originally bought the smaller bottle for cooking, which my partner would always finish off - every time saying it was very nice.
