Description

Stella Luna is a fresh and vibrant blend of Cinsault and Shiraz, farmed biodynamically in the Barossa Valley. This wine is a testament to the benefits of lunar farming cycles, creating "soils and wines which are just so much better," according to viticulturist Suzi Hilder.

Crafted with a small portion of whole-bunch fermentation and without oak, the Stella Luna Red is designed to be enjoyed young, capturing the pure essence of the vineyard. This wine is perfect for warm spring days and delicious with a slight chill, offering a refreshing and light drinking experience.

It’s juicy and vibrant, making it a delightful choice for those who typically prefer white wines. With its light to mid-weight body, this red is brimming with red fruits, tamarillo, and pomegranate, finished with gentle, kitten-tongue tannins.

Stella Luna is a delightful, easy-drinking "white wine drinker’s red". Drink it now. Drink with gusto, hopefully with a slight chill!

    Easy drinking with lots of interest

    Lovely fruit forward wine with a nice subtle tart finish

A further extension into the fresh young red space from our Joven starting point, Stella takes us to a whole new level. As our Cinsault plantings bear fruit it is a pleasure to be exploring the potential of this variety to counter the effects of climate change. Blending with some lovely whole bunch fermented Shiraz has brought a roundness and darker fruit aspect without diminishing the vibrancy of the wine. There is a buzz around the concept of juicyness or wine that makes you salavate that is so very now and represents the current contribution to the wine lexicon that thsi wine fully capsulates.
Vegan friendly
