For people needing something both sophisticated and non-alcoholic, we have produced a Verjuice for drinking rather than cooking. We produce this from the unfermented second press Chardonnay juice when making our sparkling wine. It is sweeter than the type of verjuice made for cooking purposes (which is tart) but has a similar acid profile to unripe grapes.

Our Verjuice tastes great as a long drink by itself, as part of a zero alcohol pairing with meals, or icy cold as an alternative to dessert wines.

More about this wine

2019 season

Spring was warm with temperatures 1°C above the long term average. It was dry with only 100mm rain, well below average.

Summer was very warm with a mean max temperature 23.7°C, 2.4°C above average. We had 9 days over 30°C and bushfires which caused all sorts of problems with air quality from mid January to early February. Almost ⅔ of the rainfall for summer fell in December, none in January.

Autumn saw temperatures above average including 39°C on 2 March. Rainfall was about half the average.

Chardonnay was picked for verjuice and sparkling on 7 March, Riesling on 6 April, Pinot Noir on 10 April.

Preservative and allergen information

We use a small amount of sulphur-based preservative (224) in all of our wines and Verjuice to stabilise the wine and ensure a long life.

All of our still wines are packaged on a bottling line that may have traces of nut products. We do not use any nuts as part of our production process.

Our white wines may contain traces of dairy products (skim milk) remaining in the wine after the fining and filtration process.

Our red wines are vegan-friendly wines, as we do not use any animal products in their production.

Packaging and recycling information

Our sparkling wine is labelled with recyclable waterproof labels (designed to remain intact in ice buckets!) and biodegradable inks. The cap, cage (muselet), foil and glass bottle are fully recyclable.

Our natural cork stopper can be composted at home or via compost collection, or recycled through ReCork (available at select Dan Murphy’s stores across Australia).

All of our still wines are labelled with compostable paper-based labels for each varietal and a handwritten year; this allows us to eliminate duplication of labels for different vintages. The screw cap and glass bottle are fully recyclable.

We ship all of our wine using recycled cardboard packaging. Sparkling wine is packaged during bottling; still wine is packaged during order processing. You may receive different packages depending on availability. We reuse boxes from tasting events and within our storage facility.
