Express Winemakers Drinking Wine Red 2024 750ml

Bright, juicy Great Southern red with cherry, red liquorice, spice and easy drinking freshness.

Express Winemakers Drinking Wine Red 2024 is a light, vibrant Western Australian red blend made for pure drinkability. Sourced from Great Southern fruit, it leans into crunchy red fruit, bright natural acidity and a fresh, supple feel that works beautifully with a light chill. The 2024 release is listed at 12.9% ABV and continues the label’s energetic, early drinking style. 

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Red cherry, cranberry, red liquorice and a gentle lift of spice.

Palate: Bright and juicy, with fresh red berry fruit, lively acidity and a soft, gluggable texture.

Finish: Crisp, refreshing and moreish, with plenty of energy and a savoury edge.

Winemaking

This 2024 release is built as a chilled, early-drinking red from Great Southern fruit, with Syrah forming the core and support from other varieties including Malbec and Pinot Noir. Vineyard sources listed for recent releases include Mount Barker and Frankland River sites, and the style centres on freshness, brightness and immediate appeal rather than heavy extraction.

About the Winery 

Express Winemakers is the Great Southern project of Ryan O’Meara, focused on handmade, expressive wines from Western Australia. The Drinking Wine range has become a recognisable part of the lineup for its relaxed, unpretentious approach and emphasis on wines made to be enjoyed young.

Cellaring Potential

Best enjoyed young while its crunchy fruit, brightness and natural energy are at their most vivid. This is a style built for freshness and immediate drinking rather than long term cellaring.
