Type: Light Red (Natural / Zero-Sulfur)
Region: Victoria (Gippsland / Heathcote), Australia
Grapes: Nero d'Avola, Sangiovese, Lambrusco, Syrah
Alcohol ABV: 12%
Aroma: Wild pomegranate, sour red currants, crunchy green apple skins, and a distinctly herbal, wild thyme undertone.
Palate: Bracingly fresh, bright, and lithe. Tart cranberry and red cherry notes skip across a delicate, driving acid line, framed by structural, dusty tannins and a vibrant, living finish.
All four grape varieties are harvested by hand and fermented completely separately in small batches to preserve their individual character. Vinification occurs using zero-compromise natural methods: spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, entirely manual punching down, and no mechanical pumps. The components age individually in a mix of stainless steel tanks and clay amphorae before blending, resulting in a wine bottled completely unfined, unfiltered, and with absolutely no added sulfur.
Winemaker Dane Johns works exclusively with small-scale, meticulously minded growers in Victoria who practice strict organic farming principles without synthetic chemicals. The fruit for this cuvée thrives in the ancient, iron-rich Cambrian soils of Heathcote, known for giving Italian varieties a sharp mineral edge. Vines are managed with deep respect for biodiversity, encouraging natural ground cover and healthy living soil microbiomes to regulate vine health naturally.
