REGION: McLaren Vale

McLaren Vale is one of the great and oldest names of Australian wine. The birthplace of wine in South Australia, it lies just south of the capital city of Adelaide, offering multiplicity of soils and basking under an ideal Mediterranean climate. 

VINTAGE & STYLE NOTES: 

The Cabernet grapes were harvested from a certified organic and biodynamic vineyard, in the premium McLaren Vale region. At the winery they were partially crushed into a static fermenter and inoculated with an organic Bordeaux yeast strain to enhance the fruit characters and optimum fermentation. The juice was then pumped over skins for seven days for optimum extraction of flavour, tannins and colour before the grapes were dropped with the aid of gravity into the press and the wine pressed off into pristine stainless steel. Following malolactic fermentation in tank the finished wine was bottled early without finings or Sulphur Dioxide additions, to retain its freshness, vibrancy and its ‘preservative free’ warranty. Velvety smooth - drinking at its best now.

"Believing all wine should be Organic at the least and Preservative Free where possible Organic Hill is all about building something better for the future that is not only about us and our children but also you and your future. Why would we choose to consume a product containing sulphites, pesticides, herbicides and god knows what else! For us this was an accidental discovery that we have come to not only love, but look for in all aspects of our life right down to growing our own organic vegetables with the kids. In our journey of discovering and exploring the organic world that we have come to love so much we have created a bond not only with ourselves but with the very products we consume and produce. We hope you have as much joy in discovering Organic and Preservative Free wines as we have had."
