Cocktail time with your Wild Bunch!

Cocktail time with your Wild Bunch!

While we like to enjoy our Riesling cold in good company, we also appreciate there are times that call for a cocktail with your Wild Bunch!

Our Wild Bunch Riesling is sourced from a single site in High Eden, Eden Valley.  The quality of the grapes is outstanding, and we are big believers in minimal intervention and loads of attention. While we like to enjoy our Riesling cold and in good company, we also appreciate there are other ways and occasions suitable for our Riesling – it goes hand in hand with good times!

If you’re anything like us, we are always hanging out for an excuse to enjoy a cheeky cocktail (or three).  Thanks to the Shed, warmer weather is optional, and your Wild Bunch is all the excuse you need to whiz up a fresh take on   these Summer-dreaming faves!

Method

  1. Gather the ingredients 
  2. Fill a wine or highball glass with ice
  3. Pour in the wine 
  4. Top with sparkling or soda water 
  5. Garnish with a lime wedge or orange peel.

If you’re feeling adventurous, why not add a splash of Campari!

 

WILD BUNCH MOJITO

We’re all about throwing traditions out the window, which is why we have swapped out rum in this recipe for Riesling (trust us, it works!) 

Ingredients 

  • One bottle of chilled Wild Bunch Riesling
  • Two cups of chilled lemonade
  • Two limes, juiced
  • One cup of fresh mint
  • Sugar, to taste (depending on the sweetness of the lemonade)
  • One more lime, for garnish

Method

  1. Mix the wine and lemonade in a large pitcher
  2. Juice the two limes and add to the pitcher
  3. Mince the fresh mint and add to the pitcher
  4. Add optional sugar to taste
  5. Thinly slice the remaining lime to garnish
  6. Serve over ice - Delish!

 

EDEN VALLEY 'BICICLETTA'

We are pretty envious of everyone’s European summer holiday photos, so here’s a cocktail for those of us who dream of Italy while scrolling through Insta!  It’s called Bicicletta (Italian aperitivo) – a three-part cocktail. It’s like an Aperol Spritz but slightly more bitter due to the Campari.

Ingredients

  • Three parts chilled Wild Bunch Riesling
  • Two parts Campari 
  • Chilled soda, to top
  • Two orange slices 

Method 

  1. Add our Wild Bunch Riesling and Campari into a wine glass 
  2. Fill the glass three-quarters with ice, top with soda and stir gently to combine. 
  3. Garnish with orange slices. 

 

And there you have our three favourite cocktails with our Wild Bunch Riesling as the key ingredient. We hope you enjoy these as much as we do! This wine (and these cocktails!) are made to be enjoyed with your Wild Bunch.
