The fruit for this approachable, full flavoured wine was sourced from our vineyards in South Eastern Australia. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

Picked at their prime the grapes for this wine were harvested in the cool of the evening then crushed and fermented with their skins to deliver the rich colour seen in the glass. The wine was matured in a combination stainless steel and oak before filtering and bottling.

Food Pairing: A great accompaniment to succulent red meat dishes and tomato based pasta dishes, such as lobster with a spicy tomato sauce served over Rigate pasta or for a summer twist try a cold pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, lemon, garlic, and capers.
