Pink 2023 is made from directly pressed Grenache
and Nero d’Avola.
The Grenache (70%) comes from old vines planted on
red sandy soils, and it was basket pressed into
amphora, while the Nero d’Avola (30%) was pressed
into a stainless steel tank, and aged for a short
time on Muscat of Alexandria (Zibibbo) skins.
After full malolactic fermentation the wine was racked off gross leesand continued elevage in tank for a further two
months prior to bottling.

Aristotelis Ke Anthoula is Tony Zafirakos’s homage to genuine garage winemaking, as his parents taught him growing up in Sydney. While not all backyard wine passes muster, theirs was one that was much loved by friends and family, which is all the more remarkable given that they never used sulphur. Today, the production has increased somewhat, and the fruit source is no longer the produce market, but the philosophy of his parents continues to this day, with the aim to make high-quality wines with no additions that are not “too polished”. Sourcing fruit from across New South Wales and the Riverland, the wines range from skinsy, pulpy whites, pét-nats and juicy light reds
