Syrah rose was fermented and aged in stainless steel with a barrel each of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc (selecting for pressings only) blended to create the base wine. The juice of cabernet sauvignon was added prior to bottling to allow secondary fermentation to take place in bottle. The wine is un- disgorged to retain texture and richness from the chardonnay and sauvignon blanc lees.

Launched in 2021, the Parley Wines range – owned and made today by Sarah Feehan and Melissa Gray – offers around 10 wines that defy the traditional paradigms of the regions they’re sourced from.  Sourcing grapes from across the Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, and Coonawarra, they also breathe new life into a 1-hectare old vineyard in the Basket Range of Adelaide Hills. This carefully crafted collection from Parley Wine encapsulates the vibrancy of classic South Australian wine regions through a non-traditional lens.
