The newest label in the range deliberately aimed at “millennial” wine drinkers and “launched to celebrate expertise and innovation in wine”. These are keenly priced and made deliberately for immediate consumption. Senior Winemaker is Clare Dry and she states of the range ““These are wines our winemakers love to make, wines that highlight innovative quirks as well as the winemaking processes that make them not only tasty, but fresh, original and exciting. Further to this, millennials are leading the conversation about wine, pushing established brands to create new paths of discovery. We recognised an opportunity to bring new, younger consumers into wine by providing something different to the category that celebrates that expertise and innovation.”
There you have it. But is the wine any good?
