The Corymbia Red Blend is a wine that reflects its origins perfectly and offers so much.
With a combination of natural and carbonic fermentation, there is a lovely interplay between the dark and dense tones – blackberry, coffee, olive, earth, leather – and the extremely bright ones – mulberry, cranberry, blueberry, and aniseed.
With maturation taking place in the same vat used for the fermentation, the aromas and flavours having a feel of slow evolution, unlocked by letting the wine breathe for a while before drinking.
Whether you drink it now or in a few years, you're definitely in for a treat.

"Love this drink as it’s savoury, spicy, intriguing, delicious and more. A perfect counterplay between acidity and tannins, fruit and savoury inputs... It’s a joyful drink. Uplifting, and this ’23 the best to date."

"Plenty of exotic spice, liquorice, walnut, new leather, cherry, blueberry, seaweed. Medium-bodied, a lovely grainy grip and chew to tannin, cherry, boysenberry and a pippy freshness to acidity, suffused with a ferrous and ‘mineral’ feel, umami and nutty, with a bright and flavoursome finish of excellent length. Texture. Charisma. Such a good wine."

"It’s nimble and contemporary, considerate of where it comes from, and looking into the future from a platform built by the generations that came before. Fragrant dark fruit, finely sculpted flesh, a gravelly tannin grip. The Swan Valley’s past and future in the one bottle."
- Nick Ryan (The Weekend Australian)
