VARIETY: Cabernet Franc, Saperavi
VITICULTURE: Low Intervention
Blood & Roses is our light red/chilled red/fridge red. All the yum of carbonic Franc with dialed up juiciness and acidity from the saperavi rosé. Juicy and crunchy, a prefect aperitif for when you brain says yes to wine but no to bullshit. Serve cold, but not too cold!
Blood & Roses, while the blend will change year on year, the vibes remain the same. Easy to drink, juicy and fun. This year sees Saperavi - picked ripe - from Norton Summit, Adelaide Hills. It was pressed directly and rather than pale and lean, it was looking like a full blown red wine. Cue, Blewitt Springs Cabernet Franc from Lulu's place, just around the corner. We sealed this up in a tank for 2 weeks, for some Carbonic Maceration.
2023 being a cooler vintage meant that post pressing we ended up with, essentially, a rosé. So in this bizzaro world of rosé thats red and reds that look like rosé, we blend! The split is a little over half Franc with the rest made up of Saperavi.

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.
