Red ruby color with purple reflects. 60% Gamay and 40% Pinot Noir. Crushed raspberry, red cherry with strawberry, a faint peppery lift. The palate carries tart cherry, redcurrant, a hint of orange peel — with the Pinot Noir lending a touch of savoury earthiness beneath the Gamay's juiciness. A smooth, easy-drinking harmonious wine!
We're massive fans of Mosel Riesling over here, and this is perhaps the best we've found for the money. Tropical fruits, intense citrus, lazer-sharp acidity and a little sweetness to take the edge off. Naturally lower alcohol, this is what you want to be drinking at your next picnic, or with a pork schnitzel. Very tasty stuff.

The Mawson Road Vineyard in Lenswood has a steep south-westerly aspect and sits at an elevation of 560m at its highest point. It’s planted to four of the classic Pinot clones (777, 114, 115, MV6) and this combination of ultra-cool site and clonal diversity offers a wine of great drive and complexity. High winter rains preceded a very cool spring. Late budburst, flowering and a cool autumn combined for a late vintage. Hand-picked on the 13th of April, wild yeast fermented in open fermenter and closed puncheon, 40% whole bunch, matured for 11 months in French oak (40% new, Francois Frères). Unfined. 1295 bottles produced.
Fair winter rains were punctuated by a rare hailstorm in October, reducing yields. Handpicked from Stonewell Road, Smyth Road and Flaxman’s Valley. 88% destemmed, 12% whole bunch, wild fermented, pressed to French oak (36% new, Saury, Vicard, Saint Martin), matured for 20 months in barrel. 4320 bottles produced.
