Winemaking

Healthy and problem free fruit is selected in the vineyard  and then picked in the cool of thenight and then rushed to the nearby winery for a fast and focused vinification. Fermentation is cool in a closed static fermenter before a short maturation on lees and bottling. 

2023 Vintage

The winter and spring prior to the 2023 vintage was generally a little wetter and cooler than what is usual, delaying the start of vintage and meaning some extra care was required through the growing period. Whilst the vintage was indeed later than usual, there were some really beautiful parcels of fruit that benefited from being grown in sites where the slower ripening simply enabled flavour ripeness to be achieved with character & balance.

The Hero 

The Hero wines are hand-crafted from the best quality fruit sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, including McLaren Vale and the Barossa. With meticulous handling in the vineyard and winery, the pristine fruit will have less exposure to anything harmful that may normally require the addition of preservatives. Our wines are crafted to be brightly coloured, exotically fragrant, full-flavoured and critically, they sing without the addition of preservatives. Perfectly suited to many cuisines, these wines are also crafted to ensure they are suitable for Vegans.

91 Points 

"Youthfully fruited and immediately appealing, the wine shows dark plum, mulberry, cumin and rich floral aromas on the nose. The palate is equally attractive with succulent fruit flavours with smooth texture and elegant tannins, finishing supple and delectable. At its best: now to 2026."

2019 Vintage Reviews

"Dark, bright and youthfully expressed, the wine shows Black Doris plum, mulberry, floral and anise characters on the nose, followed by a succulent palate that is beautifully weighted and lingering. It is up front and flavoursome with pristine fruit intensity. At its best: now to 2024."

Rated: 91 Points
