Regan Drew captured the versatility of this wine perfectly... "Covers all bases: Enough acidity to keep it zingy when chilled and enough fruit when that coolness warms up. Fun stuff indeed."

Made from juicy, handpicked Old Vine Barossa Grenache + Mourvèdre and hand-crafted with minimal intervention = the ultimate CHILLABLE red. Cool fermented with whole bunches. Unfined = Vegan friendly! Grandma never tasted a red like this!

91pts & 4.5 stars "Fresh and bright, the perfumed bouquet presents sweet cherry, cranberry, Gala apple, and subtle spice notes, followed by a juicy palate that's silky and flowing. It's light and refreshing, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2028." - The Wine Orbit, Sam Kim

BEST CHILLED REDS - YOUNG GUN OF WINE
Loic Rajaonarivony (Head Somm, The Atlantic) selected this wine in his top six wines of the blind tasting, describing it as opening “with ripe cherry and raspberry aromas – bright and inviting, with a soft hint of sea-salt freshness. On the palate, it feels medium-weight, the juicy red fruit giving it some gentle richness. There’s a touch of black tea–like tannin and dried-herb character that makes it interesting, without making it heavy. Chilling this wine keeps it lively and balanced – making it perfect for relaxed drinking.” 

92pts "Mid depth red-purple, bright in the glass; attractive red jelly, pepper/spice aromas and a smoky reductive trace, all resulting in a complex bouquet which traces through to the palate where it's intense and elegantly cast, with a lovely sweet fruit core and fine, firming tannins, all lasting well on the aftertaste. A quite delicious wine, driven by the grenache" - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

91pts " Raspberries, white pepper and plums on the nose of this pale red. It’s medium-bodied with peppery brightness, light tannins and a juicy finish. Drink now. Screw cap." - James Suckling Reviews

2022
91pts "Medium garnet colour with a ruby clear rim. Cool purple plum fruit, blue gravel, anise to amaro herb and spice with a signature potpourri lilt. Well put together and bright. Mid weight (beyond rosé) and with more than a hint of cheek. Just a flirt of chewy tannin to give a base to a herby, purple and red berries. Covers all bases: Enough acidity to keep it zingy when chilled and enough fruit when that coolness warms up. Fun stuff indeed." Regan Drew, vinonotebook.com

91pts "Fragrant aromas of raspberry bush, rose water, violets and red cherries. The palate is plush with a mid-weighted mouthfeel and fine tannins. Juicy and crunchy finish. Chill and drink like a Beaujolais nouveau." - James Suckling

Featured in Young Gun of Wine's Deep Dive of Australia's Best Chilled Reds - Top 30

91pts "A grenache mourvèdre concoction for chilling is obviously a very good thing. It's packed with red cherry and juicy plum fruits with a touch of blood orange, some bunchy spice and amaro and another whole bunch of "pourmeanotherglassness". Great fun drinking. We need more of these styles." - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

91pts "It’s a smashable red that tastes just smashing. It’s made with Barossa grenache and mourvedre and it’s kind of mid-coloured and mid-flavoured, if that makes sense; it’s not rose-like but it’s not full-bodied either, its cherry-plum-earth-anise characters running friskily through the palate, offering just-enough texture and decent-enough depth to keep everyone happy. Great style of wine, and well executed." - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

91pts "A bright and juicy red with aromas of peppercorns, raspberries, cherries, cinnamon and oranges. Soft and supple, with a medium body and a rounded, fruity and delicious finish. Cool fermented whole bunch grenache and mourvedre." - James Suckling

90/100 "Lovely deep, garnet hue. Signature floral potpourri and rose petal, cola essence, red berries and earthy blue gravel. Plush and slurpable up front with easy structure, just enough grip, a crunchy finish and a good tang of peppery stalky spice. The fruit quality is evident without sacrificing the fun." - Regan Drew, vinonotebook.com

2020
90/100 "Pale ruby to purple colour in the glass. Redcurrants and rose petals on the nose. Bright, juicy and crunchy on the palate. Built more around acidity than tannins for structure. A unique and quite delicious version of grenache. Would be best served with a little chill." - Stuart Knox, The Real Review

Deep cerise to toffee apple red in hue. Cool, herbed nose with red currant, blue plum, hints of cola, gravel and floral potpourri. Crunchy and vibrant palate with just a hint of grip but plenty of cut. A cheeky and delightful wine" - Regan Drew, vinonotebook.com
