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.
The 2021 ripening season was met with average rainfall for the first time in at least 3 vintages. Not only did McLaren Vale experience a wet winter, but also a luscious spring and a significantly cooler summer. This created magnificent ripening conditions from fruit set and flowering through version to final ripening.
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.
The fruit for the Hedonist Shiraz is predominately estate grown on our organic/biodynamic certified vineyard situated in the Willunga foothills, McLaren Vale. Fruit is also sourced from the Sellicks Foothills, Blewitt Springs and Kangarilla, all from vastly different soil profiles and aspects across the district. The idyllic St Vincent’s Gulf with it’s cooling sea breeze lies just to the West of the valley.
A very dry winter and spring, coupled with record heat and dry conditions throughout summer led to an early and condensed vintage. The conditions lent themselves to smaller berries with good concentration of flavour.
“I made it black and silky in new American oak and it’s got that long velvety finish true Shiraz lovers lust after.”– Walter Clappis, Winemaker

The story of the Viberti winery begins when Cavalier Antonio Viberti buys the Locanda del Buon Padre. It was the year 1923 when Antonio began to produce wine for the guests of his Locanda in the basement of the Buon Padre.
Produced from vineyards with more western exposures, it makes a maceration that does not exceed 12-15 days on the skins. The primary fruit and the floral are well preserved thanks to a weighted use of large wood for about 1 year and to follow an additional storage in steel for over 1 year before bottling. Soft tannin and great drinkability.
