Magpie Estate 'The Mixed Thing' is highly juicy, bright, sappy and wonderfully 'kwoffable' stuff. Be warned, The Mixed Thing is alarmingly easy to drink. I'm not sure it made it through the hour when we cracked open a bottle. It's is a hugely vibrant glass of Barossa red. All the red varietals from the Nuriootpa nursery are co-fermented then judiciously blended with Barossa Grenache. Summer pudding in a glass – really refreshing fresh crushed fruit… surely this must be good for you! Since it tastes like summer pudding... have it with that! Dress it up or dress it down, even try it a little chilled down.
