2023 Rosso Bianco $35.00
Inspiration for this wine comes from the people! People who aren’t afraid to choose their own adventure. People who struggle to decide some days between white or red, and people who aren’t afraid to get a little chill on a red wine….
Although this blend of varietals and regions as a still dry red is a rare expression in Western Australia, red and white varietal combos are not anything new. There is the famous Rhone, Shiraz Viognier combo, in Tuscany with Sangiovese, Malvasia and/or Trebbiano going into Chianti, and of course Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay hailing from Champagne producers. These examples are distinguished old world regions and classic, traditional wines. With our Rosso Bianco we are hoping to give a new world flare to varietals that have been blended for centuries. We are not trying to diminish or take away anything from the single varietals, but rather to show what a combination can do. Some would argue that these varietals don’t need a partnership, but Aristotle would say the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We just say give it a go and find out!
Again, we continue to the challenge the norm, by blending varietals not usually seen together. In 2021 it was Pinot Noir/Chardonnay, in 2022 it was Pinot Noir/Chenin Blanc and in 2023 it is Sangiovese/Chenin Blanc with Muscat and Pinot Grigio for added good measure! Again, there are no rules when it comes to wine and that’s what makes it fun. This is a wine you can drink with or without food, chilled or not chilled, but it will always taste better when enjoyed with friends.
Vibrant. Lively. Fun.

In a glass the wine presents with a vibrant translucent crimson red colour, appreciated clearly through the flint bottle. The nose is lifted and aromatic with cherry and red berry aromas mixed with a little spicy white pepper. The palate edges slightly over to the savoury side of the spectrum with some silky but present tannins and zesty chenin lift that provides for a thirst-quenching red wine with a difference.
