Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
Fruit is sourced from mature Rutherglen vineyards with well-drained soils. The NV blend uses parcels with naturally concentrated flavours, harvested at optimal ripeness to retain bright fruit intensity and complexity.

Food Pairing
Pairs well with blue cheeses, nuts, dried fruits, or as an aperitif.
