Winemakers Comments: A dry spring preceded and hot summer in The Riverland, which meant vintage was short, sharp and hectic! Whilst not without its challenges, the warm conditions meant that the hardy, heat tolerant Southern Italian varieties that we work with proved their worth, developing primary fruit depth whilst holding natural acidity well. After several years of cooler conditions, the 2025 wines are punchier than recent vintages, defined by bolder flavours without sacrificing thirst slaking drinkability.
Fermented in stainless steel with wild vineyard yeast, the wine was bottled under crown seal to finish ferment, resulting in the Petillant Naturel style. The Negroamaro for this wine was sourced from the Sherwood Estate in Loxton North, owned by the Proud family – third generation grape growers who have introduced Southern Italian varieties into their vineyards with great success.
Style/Palate: light sparkling style. Allans raspberry jube lolly, like a nostalgic pop in the brain, bright juicy and fun. Coats the mouth nicely but moreish with a minty dryness, rhubarb fruity bitterness.
Aormas: raspberry
Food Pairing: Charcuterie, pickles and crusty bread.
