Wine Description
The wine is intensely aromatic with a bouquet of dark berries and black pepper along with spice and plums. The palate is long and textured, dis-playing blackberry and anise complementing the spicy backbone of dark cherry and chocolate. A hint of savouriness gives the wine an extra layer of complexity with good tight acidity and smooth velvety 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.
