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.
Vibrant cherry, dried herbs, earthy spices, lighter and playful.
A churn of tannin and a burst of gorgeous ripe fruit combine to produce a red wine that you just want to drink and drink. It tastes of black cherries, anise and plums and is tasty throughout but it's the extra emphasis of the finish that really has you sitting up straighter.
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.
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.
Main & Cherry Novello is a vibrant blend of Grenache, Sangiovese and Nero d’Avola. Juicy and aromatic with soft, supple tannins, it’s light and refreshing, perfect for drinking young — and even better served slightly chilled.
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.
Our bright and vibrant fresh release of the season. A blend of Grenache, Tempranillo and Touriga gently fermented, basket pressed and bottled for a joven style wine.
