The fruit for this wine was sourced from a cool climate vineyard allowing us to produce a wine of vibrant colour with lifted berry fruits and spice on the nose.
Hand harvested, whole bunch pressed and wild yeast fermentation. Following ferment the wine was immediately sulphured to prevent malolactic conversion and then aged on gross lees for 10 months to enhance complexity. Savoury aromatics of musk and spice with textural flavours of pears and lemon juice.

The distinguishing character of Sangiovese is that of savouriness followed by bitter (morello) cherries - traits which are more than abundant in our Pinocchio version.
Our flagship Chardonnay, the Zumma, is an exercise in restraint. Everything you would want from a cool climate Chardonnay. Figs, stone fruit, and unmistakeable cool climate acidity.
The aroma is punctuated by the classic varietal fragrance of fresh apple blossom, nashi pears and lemon zest. The mouth is full and lightly creamy with a refreshing citrus drive and vibrant long lasting bead (bubbles).
In Spanish terms this wine has been produced in the ‘joven’ or youthful style – meaning it exhibits only the vibrant fruit characters of Tempranillo without the encumbrances of sweet or toasty oak.
