La Vaquita is a clarete inspired by Olivia, a calf gifted to the owner’s niece Helena for her birthday. It is a wine crafted under the clarete method, arising from the fermentation of red and white grapes, the latter in smaller proportion. Composed of 80% Malbec and 20% Torrontés, it is a wine with a light color and a strong aromatic impact reminiscent of red fruits, with floral notes characteristic of Torrontés.
João António Cerdeira was the first to break from this tradition in Melgaço and planted a full parcel as a continuous vineyard of Alvarinho. Today the third generation family members continue to embrace this spirit of innovation.
The name “Allo” is a merge of Alvarinho and Loureiro’s initials, two noble grape varieties of the Minho Region in northern Portugal. Loureiro, representing the majority (70%) of the blend, provides floral notes. Alvarinho, on the other hand, is responsible for the wine’s structure. By combining the delicate nature of Loureiro with the confidence of Alvarinho, “Allo” is a wine that embodies both the fun and serious sides of our Minho’s territory.

The fruit for the Hedonist Cabernet Sauvignon is grown biodynamically on the estate vineyard situated in the Willunga foothills, McLaren Vale. Warm Summer days are cooled by evening sea breezes from St Vincentís Gulf, which lies a close proximity to the West. The soil is rich loam over clay with patches of underlying limestone, giving the wine a rich and fullness of pallet.
A civilised vintage created a relaxed picking environment and enabled an ideal balance of sugar ripeness, natural acidity and texture in the resulting wines.
