Wine Description
A blend of grapes from both our Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek vineyards, we have taken the finest characteristics of each, and hand-crafted a full bodied wine that can be both a drink now style or cellar nicely for the medium term. As the crow flies its only 20 kms between these blocks, but the Hills fruit brings lifted raspberry, cola and pomegranate, with a bright balanced acidity on the palate, while the Creek fruit infuses a generous earthiness with ripe plum and blackcurrant's and the quotidian soft, long tannins.
Winemaker's Bio
The Pawn Wine Co. had its beginning in 2002 out of necessity when vignerons and winemakers Tom Keelan and his wife Rebecca Willson had a small parcel of fruit deemed ‘not good enough’ by a particular nameless, soulless wine monolith. They had now become mere Pawns in the global wine game, doomed to be played and moved around, and ultimately sacrificed.
They continue their crusade against the corporate wine world, by staying artisinal, and allowing the fruit to shine with minimalist winemaking techniques, environmental sustainable practices and old world grape varieties that have found their new home in Australia.
