Spring Seed Wines are made from grapes lovingly grown in our family’s organic vineyard, located in the premium wine region of McLaren Vale, South Australia. The vineyard was established in the early 1970’s by Peter and Anthea Bosworth, and is now owned and run by their son Joch, who began the conversion to organic viticulture in 1995. The vines are fully certified ‘A’ grade organic by Australian Certified Organic, a process that takes four years and involves yearly audits and random sampling of produce.

The Spring Seed Wine labels are unashamedly inspired by vintage flower seed packets created at the turn of the last century. The colour, clarity and beauty of the original seed packets are quite remarkable. 

Winemaking

The various varieties of red wine grapes (the breakdown of which will vary season by season) are gently picked before being taken to the winery to be crushed before undergoing open fermentation. Once through ferment, the red grapes are pressed off skins and sent to stainless steel vessels to ferment. Some of the wine is aged in oak (shiraz) , some not, and being non-vintage as well, the base wine ends up being wonderfully complex. Joch carefully selects the parcels of wine to make up the base wine blend. This final blend then gets its ‘fizz’, the second stage of the process of making ‘Wanderer’, prior to bottling and packaging.

Vintage

Wanderer is made by blending a few different vintages of predominantly Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a few bits and bobs of other varieties; a real smorgasbord of varieties. This allows us to create a base wine with both complexity and freshness.  

Tasting Notes

‘Wanderer’ is an elegant yet full bodied sparkling red made using our own home-grown organic red wine grapes. It has a vibrant bright purple colour, with a nose ripe with blueberries, plum, black cherry and a hint of violets. It is perfect as an aperitif or can enjoyed with a variety of food. Serve chilled.
