This is a soft tannin, juicy light red wine made in the traditional “semi-carbonic-maceration” fermentation, as is done with Gamay in the french Beaujolais, except here with warm climate Shiraz, Mourvedre, Grenache and Carignan. Its “smashable” – a thoroughly enjoyable light red that can be matched with many foods, cheeses and charcuterie, and served chilled in the warmer seasons. As with the other “garage” wines, this is made with wild ferment, no fining and preservative free and bottled under cork.

The wine is unfiltered and has a slight lees (yeast) haze and will slowly form a sediment. The anti-oxidant activity of the lees may help preserve the wine over time.

The Grenache offers juicy red fruits and a zippy acid that dances on the palate The Shiraz provides richness and depth with dark berries, milk chocolate and plums and supple tannins. The Mataro offers undertones of earthiness and Asian spice

Deep plum in colour with vivid red hues. Richly aromatic nose of preserved plums, kirsch and dark summer fruits with complexing notes of subtle cedar, milk chocolate, dried fig and sweet spices. Rich, layered and voluptuous palate with abundant fruit flesh. Flavours of grilled nuts, smoked meats and ripe plums flood the palate balanced with Cabernet led fine savoury structure.
