Strawberry, Dried Thyme and Sour Cherry on the nose with Tart Cranberry, Raspberry Compote and Creaming Soda on the palate. The juxtaposition between the sweet and savoury is at play with texture from pressings barrels providing a crunch and interest that draws this pet-nat into an all new space. - Winter is the perfect time for this one! 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.
To ‘parley’ is to hold a conference with opposing sides to discuss terms. As a team of three we got really good at that. We were all wearing many hats at the start of the 2021 vintage - Mel, a brilliant student was in her third year of Viticulture and Oenology at The University of Adelaide, working for Commune of Buttons, Son of Dot Drinks and a mother to be. Sarah was running The Summertown Aristologist and working with Les Fruits. And Joss, at one point, balancing 4 simultaneous jobs and a vintage at Gentle Folk.
Needless to say we needed one another to get things done and swift decision making became our forte. Finding time in our already overcomplicated schedules, we made wine and managed to do it with finesse. For the last year we have been continuously bouncing off one another, discussing and seeking solutions to obstacles and finding consonance in our decisions. We suppose in essence, we are one big Parley.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
