• French oak
• Dark berries
• Brown spices
• Soft & plush

Richly scented and flavoured with bright red and dark berry fruits with milk chocolate and a mix of brown spices. The palate is medium to full in weight with bright fruit flavours and a soft, plush mouth-feel. Soft integrated tannins and light fresh acidity both driving a long and generous finish.

Just as nature intended, The Birds & Bees range of wines are hand-crafted from drygrown vineyards in pristine wine making country of South Australia. The vineyards are naturally grown without the use of herbicides or pesticides and are a thriving place for birds, bees and many more brilliant little critters and creatures. To really showcase the fruit from our wonderful vineyards the wines are low intervention, use no new oak and are finished with minimal fining and filtration so they really sing form the glass. Thoughtfully grown by fourth generation vignerons, the Gregoriou family.

A La Nina season brought much welcomed rain over the winter months and continued in providing a mild spring and summer. The cooler than average weather during harvest resulted in a longer ripening period which facilitated fragrant and elegant fruits in red wines and a seamless acid and tannin balance.

Picked in the cool of the morning and transported quickly to the winery before being 100% de-stemmed prior to fermentation in a mix of open and closed tanks. The wine was primarily vinified without the influence of oak for maximum fruit expression with most spending time on lees and regular cap management for colour and shape before blending with a smaller parcel matured in second-use French oak.

Food Pairing: Delightful as a glass on its own or partner with your favourite barbecue or roasted red meat.
