With the Yarra Valley cornering the Light Dry Red market, here's another ripper and it won't break the budget. 50/50% pinot/shiraz. Loaded with bright, poppy fruit doused in pepper, spice and all things nice. It's just shy of medium bodied, with crunchy acidity and grainy tannins. Fitting the style brief brilliantly, it eschews any serious intent, other than crafting a delicious drink.

A 50:50 blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah.
Pinot sourced from Henk Vineyard in Woori Yallock with the Syrah from vineyards in Coldstream.
A long, cool growing season with average crops and abundant rainfall has resulted in wines with outstanding varietal flavour.
Bright ruby with a purple hue. Fresh fruit aromatics leaps from the glass with dark cherries, blueberry and plum,complemented with notes of whole bunch spice, white pepper and black olive. The palate is medium bodied with lashings of soft juicy red and blue fruits that cascade along the palate. A delicate plush line of soft tannin is interwoven between the layers of fruit all while holding is shape with a vibrant line a acidity. Soft, juicy and succulent a wine for now.
