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.

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