Sourced from select vineyards across the diverse terroirs of South Eastern Australia, the wine represents a harmonious marriage of three classic grape varieties.
This wine is made to be enjoyed with friends and family. This wine shows a deep ruby hue and reveals an enticing bouquet of ripe red berries, plums, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it bursts with juicy flavors of blackberry and cherry, complemented by subtle notes of pepper and earth. The wine's soft tannins and balanced acidity create a smooth, lingering finish. The Shiraz contributes rich fruit and body, while the Grenache adds a touch of sweetness and aromatic complexity. The Petit Verdot lends structure, colour, and a subtle tannic backbone, resulting in a well-rounded and approachable wine.
Stoney Creek embraces sustainable winemaking practices, nurturing the environment for future generations. The winery's commitment to quality extends from the vineyard to the cellar, where traditional techniques and modern technology combine to produce wines of exceptional character and consistency. The grapes are carefully hand-picked and sorted to ensure only the finest fruit is used in the winemaking process. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, preserving the wine's fresh fruit aromas and vibrant flavors. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for a short period, adding subtle complexity and a touch of elegance.
This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its fruit-forward character makes it a natural match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty pasta dishes. Try it with barbecued ribs, lamb chops, or a classic lasagna. It's also a great accompaniment to cheese platters and charcuterie boards. For a lighter pairing, enjoy it with pizza or burgers. Serve this wine slightly chilled, around 16°C (60°F), to enhance its fruity aromas and refreshing acidity.
