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.
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.
Shiraz always will be the King of McLaren Vale. Ours is grown at two exceptional sites in sunny McLaren Vale.
