Great bottle. Wine was full bodied, with nice, big tannins. I am also impressed by the exclusion of herbicides and pesticides and their overall approach to reducing their carbon footprint.

This was a lovely blend, I really enjoyed the wine – it was big and full, had it with steak and it was delicious. I also love to see a small family, making wine with sustainability and the environment in mind.

Review

This is a high quality wine that was exceptionally delightful to consume! Rich and full flavours but not heavy like some reds. The attention to details in the winemaking process and working closely with vineyards and winemakers seems to ensure high quality outcomes and as well reduced impact on the environment overall. Wonderful to see!
