The Hedonist Ecology Shiraz

The fruit for the Hedonist Ecology Shiraz is sourced from our Willunga foothills estate vineyard & an iconic vineyard from Kangarilla, a relatively cooler site within McLaren Vale, approximately 50/50.

The 2021 season experienced magnificent ripening conditions from fruit set and flowering. While vintage was long and drawn out, it created a relaxed picking environment and enabled superb balance of natural acidity, texture and tannin in the resulting wines.

Certified biodynamic, organic vineyards and vegan friendly.
