Handpicked fruit from our vineyard nestled above the Clarendon township, at one of the highest sites in the McLaren Vale wine region. We have been farming this site without any herbicide, insecticide or systemic chemicals and use Indian Runner Ducks to forage undervine, and sheep and alpacas grazing over winter. Gentle handling and winemaking has been utilized every step of the way.
Dark and decadent, rich and full bodied, with waves of blue fruits, warm spice and an elegant silky texture.
A brand new release from the stunning 2024 vintage in McLaren Vale. Whole berries were retained after destemming the bunches (no crushing took place), before a cool, open top fermentation. Fermented slowly for 25 days on skins and then basket pressed to seasoned French Hogsheads for 8 months of maturation. Vegan friendly.
Our bright and vibrant fresh release takes inspiration from the Iberian Peninsula. A joven-style blend of Grenache, Tempranillo, and Touriga, it offers aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and delicate florals, with hints of spice.
Juicy and lively on the palate, with plush tannins and lovely fruit-weight, it’s perfect with tapas or simply on its own.
We love how well suited Fiano is to the Australian climate, with it’s thick skin and ability to ripen on the vine without losing acidity under the summer sun. It’s also very versatile in the winery, and our aim is to make a style that is fresh, zippy and attractively aromatic. We work with a vineyard at Kersbrook, in the warmer northern Adelaide Hills, which we think is a perfect site growing for Italian grape varieties.
An early hand picked parcel from the iconic Brini vineyard in Blewitt Springs. 100% Grenache, grown on ancient sandy soils. Partly fermented in locally made terracotta pots, gently hand plunged with extended time on skins. Basket pressed and matured for 6 months in seasoned French oak. A fresh, bright style.
One of Sicily’s great wine treasures, Nero d’Avola is known for its dark berry flavours and medium-bodied style. Ours comes from a single vineyard in McLaren Flat, hand-picked at peak ripeness, perfectly suited to the region’s warm climate.
Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and a hint of spice lead to a smooth, silky palate with rounded tannins and a lingering, fruit-driven finish.
Deep, inky colour with very pretty aromatics that leap out of the glass. Bouncy blackberry fruit like Ribena and chocolate cake. Lovely balanced acidity/tannin structure and a rich, plush texture.
