Fleet-footed, full-throttle; JUNIOR plays the room with vibrant ruby fruit and repartee at the ready. Sour cherry pie stolen from the window sill, this approachable, easy-drinking red is a must-try offering bound to leave its mark. 

Tight acid rounded by dusty tannin gives this Nebbiolo a chewiness not always present in other showings of the varietal, with a nose boasting rhubarb, cassia and raspberry licorice. Taut and structured, JUNIOR paves his own way. Stubborn? Maybe. But like his namesake uncle, he gets results.

The ultimate medley of red grapes combine for the next X wine: Dolcetto, Nebbiolo and Barbera. Each of these varieties supports the others to create a harmonious fusion of perfect balance - Dolcetto provides the sweet, soft fruits; savoury, dusty structure from Nebbiolo and Barbera rounding out the rear with a kick of zesty acidity. An exquisite example of the beauty of blends, a true 'vino da tavola' - it goes on the table with every meal, because it goes with every meal on the table.

Slave to the grapes. That's my unofficial mantra during vintage. Everything is at the mercy of mother nature and you work until the work is done. Long hours, hard work but damn it's fun. The Mistress is a tribute to the workers of vintage, those who sacrifice family, friends and relationships to turn great grapes into fine wine. 

Carignan is a lovely and unique variety. Most often used in blends to add colour, structure or acidity, it also stands beautifully on it's own, using it's rustic charm to seduce and enlighten. This is my favourite Carignan we've made, using less whole bunch than we have in the past which allows for the earthy fruits to be expressed with that slight herbal note adding a complexing element without being the dominating character. I'm not sure what it is about Carignan that I find so alluring, but every year it's a wine I just love to make.

Whisson Lake is a magical vineyard that's planted solely to Pinot Noir and at over 600m, it has one of the highest elevations of any vineyard in the Adelaide Hills which shows through in the wonderfully elegant perfumed aromas. For the Pinot nerds amongst you, the clones are a big ol' mix: D5V12, MV6, 114, 115; with the ferments layered with 30% whole bunches, 30% footstomped for over and hour and topped with the remainder as whole berry component. On skins for 4 weeks and gently basket pressed to old oak for a year, with nearly another year of bottle age on it. It's this level of detail and finesse from both the vineyard and winemaking processes that make this such a unique and special wine.

Here's Sangiovese, putting its best foot forward. Forget the fiascos, those aptly named wicker cradles for coddling the Chianti's of old, and embrace punch-bowl style drinking with our toZzo Sangiovese.

Day drinking ammunition at its finest, pop the cork, splash it around and you'll see what we mean. Best served lightly chilled for maximum effect.
