This wine features ripe peach, nectarine and Nashi pear aromas. A zesty finish compliments well with seafood. 

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.

Warm climate, dry, preservative-free Vermentino have been grown organically and biodynamically since Day One. We encourage the wine to go through natural malolactic fermentation, so the finished wine is stable with no sulfites added. The result is a more “preserved lemon” character than the green acid of sulfited vermentino. The wine is bottled without fining, cold stabilisation or filtration to “polish it”.

Lifted aromas of blackberries and cassis with underlying mint and hints of milk chocolate oak. A soft medium bodied wine with layers of berry and cassis fruit on the fleshy palate with soft supple tannins and touches of chocolate oak to complement the fruit.
