Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Lagrein Limestone Coast/Adelaide Hills
Strangely appealing for a grape variety far from its home in northern Italy! Deep purple hue with a dense nose of bramble, hibiscus, mulberry, cooked plum and blueberry jam. There is a faint touch of oak on the palate, framed by a healthy dollop of black fruit from start to finish. Additional complexity from coffee, licorice and chocolate notes do not go unnoticed. A seam of acidity prevents fruit overkill, with the finish offering an appealing tannic kick. “Lagrein?” I hear you say. Keep an open mind: this is what the future will look like. 2024-2030–MP

Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Sangiovese, Langhorne Creek
Ripe fruit and truffle mingle with oak on the nose of this medium ruby-hued wine. Tomato leaf, cold tea, cocoa powder and leather add to the exotic profile in much the same way as they do in Tuscany. On the palate, this is a bold number but far from overblown: the dusty tannins are a particular high point and delicate counterbalance to ripe strawberry, raspberry, plum and cherry. 2024-2027–MP
