The fruit was hand destemmed into a single flower pot and macerated on skins for 21 days; with gentle cap management of only wetting the cab twice daily. Once dry it was gently pressed off using a hand basket press and aged in seasoned French barriques for 11 months, with bottling taking place in February of 2022.

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.
