  • Floral notes
  • Exotic spice
  • Fine tannins

"This is beautifully ripe and perfumed on the nose showing sweet plum, floral, toasted nut and anise notes, leading to a flavoursome palate that's silky and lingering. It's upfront and gentle with attractive bright fruit flavours. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2020

A vibrant Shiraz that shows the typicity of bright South Australian fruit that shows ripeness as well as exotic spice. Dark berry fruit on the palate complemented by fine tannins with a bright, lifted finish and balanced acidity.

Sourced from established vineyards in South Australia. The sheltered aspect and consistent temperatures combine to ensure the retention of natural acidity in the elegant fruit harvested.

2020 had its challenges with a dry start and only a small portion of rain and with much of the country suffering drought conditions. The warm dry spell continued in December with some extreme hot temperature days recorded. Thankfully due to one of the coolest January’s on record the vines were able to re-address the balance. It was a late ripening year and yields were down but despite the challenges it will be another excellent vintage across South Australia.

Healthy and problem free fruit is selected in the vineyard and then picked in the cool of the night and then rushed to the nearby winery for a fast and focused vinification. Fermentation is cool in a closed static fermenter before a short maturation on lees and bottling.

Hello! is a very friendly wine that also happens to be vegan friendly. And, if you’ve been forced into isolation in recent times, Hello! is a chance to re-connect with the wines & people you love – even while social distancing! So, if you like friendly Pinot or Shiraz from South Australia then these are the wines for you. Hello! - a wine that by its very nature is friendly on your palate. Perfectly suited to many cuisines, these wines are also crafted to ensure they are suitable for Vegans.

Food Pairing: Pair with a vegan friendly cauliflower steaks with middle eastern spices.
