I have never heard of it. So I googled it; appears it is a wine made and designed specifically for export to the US.
I googled it, and came up with this fascinating article:

There's lots of good Aussie wines, but mostly these days I drink "cleanskins", which are no-name wines bottled from surplus vintage in various wine growing areas. Cheap, and up til now great quality. But could decline as this year's vintage is way down, due to both frost and drought!
Interesting to see the dog first and then the dog with the owner. I'm fascinated as why people buy a particular breed of dog. These two fit well together.
I like these shots a lot - cute dog a loving owner.
