• Juicy & silky-smooth
• Unfiltered & unfined

"Offering fabulous fruit purity and poise, the wine shows dark plum, sweet cherry, violet and subtle spice aromas on the nose, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's juicy and beautifully flowing. Well proportioned and harmonious with a lengthy smooth finish. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2021

"No added sulphites, wild yeast fermentation, made from old vines and bottled unfiltered and unfined. You’ll need to know how to operate a corkscrew as the range is bottled under DIAM cork (and a wax seal). Medium garnet with a brightish purple rim. Dusty, dusky leaf matter with earthy dark cherry,anise and cinnamon spice with a meaty hint. Mid weight. Brightly coloured cherry fruit with easy, drying fruit tannins (no oak in the fermentation to give woody influence). Tense and pent up with nervy acidity. Give it some air and match with a mushroom schnitzel to round out your gentle earth experience" Regan Drew, Vino Note Book, Jan 2022

"Sappy, slurpy, fresh feeling lighter red wine with bright but dark cherry juice and cranberry tang to the fore. Super easy to drink, nice, crisp feel with some silty tannins lending some pucker. A ripping drink for the bucks is the message, and geez, I could go a fair bit of this. Really well done, hits the glass with perfume, vitality and drinkability. A case buy, kinda vibe" Mike Bennie, Wine Front, Feb 2022

Fragrant, fresh and lifted and full of poised Pinot Noir Character. This is smooth, silky and seductive on the nose and palate- exhibiting distinctive cherry and savoury notes followed by gentle acidity on the finish.

In terms of the 2021 vintage, spring 2020 was warm and wet, with enough bursts of sunshine to ensure the best flowering and fruit set in 3 years. Consistent fruit set matched with plentiful ground water led to vigorous canopy development and large crops. The possibility of disease hung heavy especially after large amounts of rainfall in January and the quality of the vintage was in the balance. However, an auspicious change in conditions led to a two-month run of glorious weather that saw warmdays, cold nights and elongated ripening. In terms of quality, tannin concentration and ripeness will be thehallmark of 2021. Wines retained good natural acidity and great ripeness of flavour was achieved.
