Made by award winning winemaker Aaron Mercer this dynamic brand is organic, vegan, preservative free and features no additions.

Vineyards: Sourced from a 20-year-old organic vineyard in Canowindra, NSW.

Winemaking: Classic hands off winemaking has resulted a Pinot Gris in the Orange style. Once pressed, a third of the organic Pinot Gris juice sat on skins for 7 days to aid colour and texture. The wine was then de-juiced and fermented with no additions.

Tasting Note: Deeply aromatic with a fine floral drive this wine is imbued with notes of blood orange, musk and other rich, fruit flavours. On the palate it has grip and delicacy with lovely mouth-filling textures complemented by notes of amaro and hints of Campari. Really impressive length of flavour ensures this will be a great food wine and could be paired with a multitude of dishes.
