Ralph Allen Graham (RAG) was Dan Graham's late father, who Dan calls 'thought-provoking and hard-working', and this light and spicy red is a bit of a homage. Mainly Syrah but with a bit of Viognier and Mataro, it's a summer wine that tastes of forest fruits and what Dan describes as 'Christmas spice' that feels a bit frisky but with excellent crunch and energy with just enough black fruit generosity. Serve this chilled for some real summer vibes!

Sigurd was Dan Graham's grandfather - a Norwegian-born larrikin who was famously shot twice in WWI during some random absconding mischievousness and was an icon for his family (Sigurd is also Dan's middle name). The Graham family ended up in the wine industry, with Dan following in his winemaking father's footsteps to make wine around the world before settling in the Barossa. An important part of Dan's journey was a stint at Jacob's Creek, where he quickly realised that conventional industrial wine production just wasn't his jam. As a result, all the Sigurd wines come from vineyards farmed organically, and his winemaking mode is expressive, with lo-fi wines with minimal additions, natural fermentation, and a real sense of transparency. While the Barossa is the focus, he has also crafted wines from organic plots as far afield as Orange in NSW, just for entertainment and diversity.
