Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Cloudy magenta in the glass with aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and a touch of plum. The palate is juicy and plush, offering red fruits, soft spice and a velvety mouthfeel. Gentle tannins and a lightly savoury edge keep it balanced, while the skin contact adds texture and intrigue. It’s bright, playful and incredibly drinkable — especially with a light chill.

Winemaking

Organically grown Gamay and Pinot Noir are fermented on skins to build colour, texture and aromatic lift. TSO₂ is added at the press in minimal amounts. Fermentation is wild, extraction is gentle, and the wine is bottled with minimal intervention to preserve vibrancy and character. The result is a juicy, textural, new‑wave red with a soft, cloudy appearance.

Vineyard & Vintage

Grown in the cool, elevated vineyards of Orange, NSW, where long ripening and natural acidity help red varieties retain freshness and aromatic detail. Organic farming enhances purity and expression, while the region’s altitude gives the wine its bright, crunchy energy.

Why We Love It

It’s the red you open when you want something fun, juicy and a little bit wild — but still beautifully balanced. Chill it down, pour generously and watch everyone at the table fall in love with it.
