"The wine offers lovely fruit purity and refinement; the elegantly lifted bouquet shows Black Doris plum, dark cherry, violet and subtle spice aromas, followed by a juicy palate that is smooth and soothing. It is youthfully charming and approachable with pristine fruit flavours. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2019

"No Evil is an Australian winery that's setting a new benchmark for organic and vegan-friendly wines. Using high quality organic grapes and small-batch winemaking techniques, it crafts wines like this plush Shiraz. With ripe berry flavours and notes of smoky spice, it's a natural with road lamb or beef or well-aged cheddar" Julia Aitken, LCBO Holiday Issue, SNE Food & Drink Magazine 2018

This wine has a myriad of lifted characters led by blue and red berry fruit aromas with vanilla, fresh ground spices and ripe plums. Soft and seductive tannins help shape the wine yet the weight of fruit ensures it remains cuddly and generous. Subtle mineral and spice, milk chocolate nuance and a fine, integrated acidity drive a long enjoyable finish. The wine is looking great right now but will also age gracefully with very careful cellaring for up to 10 year.

The winter of 2017 was very mild and without any rain at all until the month of June with soils replenished for the pending growing season. The mild conditions continued through Spring and Summer with very little rain but also without significant heat periods. The ripening was even throughout most of the South Australia delivering very high quality with bright fruit flavours and good natural acidity.

Sourced primarily from a mature, dry-grown vineyards in the McLaren flat sub district of McLaren Vale. The fruit is hand-harvested and sorted before de-stemming and cool fermentation in small two tonne open fermenters with regular hand plunging. Matured in seasoned French oak (30% new French) for ten months before bottling with minimal filtration and sulphur addition.
