All the grapes were handpicked and delivered to the cellar for hand sorting and gentle pressing. The individual components were fermented in old 500L French oak barrels. After fermentation, the wine was kept in barrel under temperature control for 7 months. Only 8 x 500 Litre barrels of wine was produced.

Tasting Notes

Light to pale in colour with delicate aromas of pomegranate and summer berries. Subtle oaking gives a delectable creaminess to the palate. Flavours of crunchy melon, and a tarty freshness the palate with a saline finish.

More details

As dawn reveals another day, specialised pickers gather in the seemingly endless fields of violet-blue flowers to begin harvest of the world’s most precious spice - saffron. One by one, each of the three stigmas is pulled out of the delicate flower and dried by hand – a lengthy process that makes the spice cost almost as much as gold. Much like this hand-harvested exotic spice, our grape selection is equally as rigorous. With low yielding bush vines grown in unique vineyards, our team is careful to ensure only unblemished bunches undergo light pressing, releasing  sensual floral and honey-like aromas. Serve chilled - a masterful match for almost any dish.

IN THE VINEYARD

The Grenache Noir grapes are selected from our vineyards in Darling. These vineyards are planted in some of the country’s finest red oakleaf overlooking the cold Atlantic Ocean.
