GOLD MEDAL,   MARGARET RIVER WINE SHOW 2023.   HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2025, 93 points. An enticing pale pastel pink with a floral lift, lightly spiced and fruited with raspberries and strawberries. The palate is ultra-refreshing with zest and lemony acidity, yet there’s some texture, and this finishes dry.            

Sourced from three sites, predominantly estate grown young Grenache vines, and two Sangiovese vineyards in the Seaview district of McLaren Vale, ‘Beautiful View’. Certified organic.

The fine texture lengthens a harmonious and glossy mouthfeel.    #hedonist
