Charlotte Dalton Mr Nobody Red 2024 from Langhorne Creek is a playful, juicy blend of shiraz, carignan and graciano that’s been put together as the ultimate barbecue red – bright, vibrant and dangerously easy to drink while still having enough savoury spice to keep it interesting. Charlotte Dalton Mr Nobody Red 2024 is very much about fun, friends and no‑fuss good times at the table.

In the glass you’re looking at a medium‑bodied, gluggable style with dark and red berries, hints of violet, gentle spice and a soft, supple palate that takes a chill nicely and absolutely loves being poured generously. These expressive, experimental blends from Charlotte Hardy are made with minimal pretence – just pure, lip‑smacking fruit wrapped around soft tannins and a fresh, moreish finish.

This is tailor‑made for snags and steaks on the barbie, burgers, charred veggies, pizza, slow‑cooked lamb shoulder or a big shared platter of cured meats and cheeses. It’s the sort of red you crack at a Sunday arvo cook‑up, where a couple of bottles of Mr Nobody Red 2024 mysteriously disappear and, as always, “Mr Nobody did it.”
