Sonnen Light Dry Red 2025

Upper Derwent Valley Pinot Noir and Coal Valley Syrah, picked on the same day (fancy that) and co-fermented as one batch. 50/50.

Plenty of whole bunch funk courtesy of the Pinot and spicy red-fruity structure and prettiness from the Syrah.

A classic Aussie blend championed by Maurice O’Shea in the Hunter Valley in the 30’s and 40’s.

Region: Derwent and Coal River Valleys, Tasmania
