a nice red wine, not 'in your face, enjoyable on it's own and with a good beef sunday lunch'

"My greatest pleasure has been to start Arabella, my winery, from scratch in 2006. With the help of my children, Nicky & Jamie, it's turned in to a real family business where everyone is completely dedicated. My family owned a wine farm when I was growing up, and at the age of 17 my mother put me to work in the cellar. I absolutely loved. So winemaking was something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. I love the creativity involved with being a winemaker. Every step taken, from vineyard to bottling, will effect the outcome of the wine. It's vital to have a very clear idea of what the outcome should be and the steps needed in the process to achieve the desired result."

A nice red wine, not to heavy, not to rich, nice to enjoy over a sunday lunch or on it's own.
I have enjoyed both the white and red Arabellas - but unfortunately I think I enjoyed the white to much as I originally posted my comments about it against the red wine ( what an idiot!)

We find that Arabella is a lovely wine with a meal or just a pleasure to drink on it own.

Straight from the bottle, this wine was almost undrinkable for me. Extremely bitter and dry. However, after being left open to breathe for two days, it did mellow a bit. The worst wine I have bought from here so far.
