Vintage: 2023McLaren Vale, SA ALC: 13.5% Inspired by the flora and Fauna that thrive in this vineyard, this collection celebrates terroir and the unique ecosystem and the craft of the wine making! Like a actor proudly collecting an Oscar, this wine showcases the refinement and complexity of the fruit. Red berries, blue fruits and herby/earthy notes, medium boded and outright delicious! As with many great stories, VANGUARDIST was born of humble beginnings. Ideals, harmonised over a table littered with empty bottles. Laughs that rolled late into the evening, not realising the impetus forming; a relentless ‘fire in the belly’ that sent Michael bouncing across the equator, chasing international harvests for most of his adult life. The Vanguardist range represents the epitome of what they are about. Pushing the realms of standard winemaking to deliver intrigue, excitement and utmost quality, without any loss of sense of place. Ultimate dedication to the craft of viticulture and winemaking, encapsulated in a bottle –through our lens.
