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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nero d’Avola is without a doubt one of the jewels in the Sicilian winemaking crown, with it’s dark berried characters and medium bodied nature. Our Nero is grown at a single vineyard in McLaren Flat and hand picked at optimal flavour ripeness, with voluptuous tannins.
