Angove Family Winemakers is proud to be one of Australia’s leading producers of certified Organic wines. Our grapes are sourced from our own certified Organic Nanya vineyard as well as select Organic growers in the renowned McLaren Vale region. The 2023 vintage in South Australia was exceptionally challenging, characterized by a cool, wet, and late season driven by a third consecutive La Niña. High disease pressure, low yields, and slow ripening resulted in a delayed harvest and careful vineyard management throughout the season was needed to ensure healthy canopies and balanced crops. The resulting in wines show purity, elegance, and excellent varietal.

To preserve freshness and fruit integrity, the grapes were harvested during the cool of night. Following gentle crushing, the fruit was transferred to both rotary and ‘sweepam’ fermenters and cold soaked for two days to enhance colour and flavour extraction. Fermentation was carried out using selected cultured yeasts before the wine was pressed off skins at optimal balance and structure. Malolactic fermentation followed to build texture and complexity. The wine was matured on oak before blending, with minimal handling prior to filtration and bottling at our certified Organic winery.

Food Pairing: Slow cooked lamb shoulder, chargrilled vegetables, vegan mushroom ragu.
