Former Formula One racer Daniel Ricciardo is an outgoing sort of bloke, not scared of performing a "shoey" when he feels the time is right.
But there is also an artistic side to Ricciardo, as evidenced by his wine collaboration with St Hugo.
The latest release in the range is Daniel Ricciardo - 2024 Enchanté Rosé by DR3 with a very feminine label (right).
I'm not sure how much appetite there is among Australian wine devotees for a $40 mataro rosé but the story goes that the new release is "inspired by Daniel’s approach to life" and is described as "the youthful, adventurous and newest member in this prestigious portfolio".
It's a nice wine; blessed with bright, crunchy fruit but with a pebbly, dry finish; refreshing and perfect for serving chilled on a warm day.
"The decision to create this wine with mataro grapes was made early on by Daniel and I - a distinctive choice in the local rosé market," says winemaker Trina Smith.
"As you’ll taste, the mataro imparts a beautiful jasmine floral note to the wine, and a long, elegant finish. I’m proud to say it is a contemporary style rosé that is we feel is uniquely Australian.
"While this is a passion project for Daniel, it’s been crafted with the precision of a St Hugo wine and it’s been an honour to work together on such a uniquely delicious project."
The wine is being rolled-out nationally across Dan Murphy stores right now.
