What grape varieties are in this wine?
75% Pinot Noir and 25% Shiraz.
Where are the grapes grown?
Yarra Valley and Heathcote
What does it smell like?
All the pretty and evocative aromatics of Pinot Noir with the power and spice of Shiraz. It’s perfumed and loaded with red currants, black plums, and wild raspberries and soft spices humming in the background.
How about the taste?
Ripe plums and sour cherries are beautifully balanced with a juicy acidity, velvety tannins and a long finish. With some soft bubbles due to dissolved carbon dioxide from the canning process to keep the wine fresh! Just pour it into a glass and let it sit for a while before drinking for the bubbles to naturally disappear.
What food goes with it?
A picnic in the park. Casual conversations with mates and a grazing platter. A good book, a couch and your most comfortable clothes.
How is it made?
The Pinot Noir was hand picked, de-stemmed and cold soaked in open top fermenters for a few days before wild fermentation naturally kicked off. After ferment the wine was pressed into 3 year old oak and matured for 7 months.
The Shiraz was delicately machine harvested in the cool of the dawn. Then transported to the winery and immediately de-stemmed into an open top fermenter and inoculated for ferment. 10 days on skins before being pressed to oak. Maturated for 7 months in oak.
We drained 25% of the Pinot Noir out of barrel and topped it up with Shiraz. The barrel was then racked into kegs and we canned it. No fining or filtering.
For the wine geeks!
Does this wine spend any time in oak barrels?
Yes - 3 year old french oak barriques.
Winemakers Comments
Cans are a great way to keep wine fresh and vibrant! We use the same high quality wine that goes into our bottles in this can. We are just having a little fun with creating a new blend designed for delicious no fuss, convenient drinking that also happens to be better for our environment.
Expert Reviews
“…a very enjoyable, quaffable drop”
If this is your first foray into wine-in-a-can territory, you will not be disappointed. Bright and ripe red fruits and lots of acid make for a very enjoyable, quaffable drop.
