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.
Elegant style, raspberry jubes, spice, campari type aromatics, juicy palate, plush fine-grained tannins

Lightly framed with pretty perfume of raspberry, violets, figs and those typical greenish/herbal characters of Franc. Soft and seductive, the sort of wine you could briefly chill on a hot summer day.
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.
Made in a blush and bright Rosé style, from a single Grenache vineyard in McLaren Vale. Delicated florals, fresh red fruits and spice on the nose, with a satisfying texture and a crisp, dry finish.
Flavours of green apple and peach, with a lovely lime zest acidity structure. An exotic alternative for lovers of Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc.
