Meet the latest celebrity wine release: a most unlikely one.
Finnish Formula One driver Valterri Bottas has combined with winemaker Corrina Wright from Oliver's Taranga to craft a McLaren Vale shiraz he is calling Ihana.
The name Ihana is Finnish for wonderful or fantastic and is a word Bottas uses for "the truly exceptional".
The collaboration has been tagged Valtteri Bottas x Oliver’s Taranga.
Bottas says "a wine made by two such driven perfectionists was only ever going to be ‘Ihana’."
The F1 racer spends a lot of time in Australia - his partner is Australian professional cyclist Tiffany Cromwell - and has apparently fallen in love with the bold reds of McLaren Vale.
A two-bottle gift box of the 2022 Ihana Shiraz costs $160 and is described as a limited release collectors item. Each bottle is individually numbered.

I shared tastes of the wine with several enthusiasts. The verdict: “It is seriously good, isn’t it?”
He’s on a winner.
