The sweetness of this wine is from natural fruit sugars that remain after we stop fermentation before the wine is completely dry. We are left with a delightfully still, dessert style wine that is a little lower in alcohol and finishes fresh and clean with flavours of rosewater and strawberries. It is perfect after dinner with berries, pastries or soft cheeses.

Brachetto is an ancient Italian variety dating back to Roman times and is only planted in a few vineyards in Australia. We make a still wine that follows the traditional ‘Tranquillo’ method and helps us showcase the vibrant strawberry and rose water flavours at their best.
[2017 Vintage] – 3.5/5 stars at 2018 WINESTATE Emerging Varietal Awards
“Sweet, soft and fresh. Pleasant and appealing in a light-footed way. Raspberries, cherries and lychees, all served with slips of sweetness. Lovely mouthfeel too.”
The Winefront, December 2020 [2020 Vintage]
“Delicate floral fragrances and tasting of limes and quince with nice sweetness and a tightening grip on the finish.”
