This is a bold yet elegantly structured expression of Malbec, brimming with ripe blackberries, dark plums, and a hint of violet on the nose. On the palate, juicy black fruit is layered with subtle cocoa, warm spices, all wrapped in fine, velvety tannins. A fresh acidity lifts the rich fruit core, leading to a long, balanced finish with whispers of black pepper and dried herbs. Stunning!

Riley Harrison is a one man band who is showing a generation of young winemakers that you can step out on your own from the shadows of large wineries and master your craft. This step was well considered and he has been slowly building the range of his own wines since his first Fleur de la Lune Grenache in 2015. While making the jump into hyperspace, Riley was honing his craft working at the trend setting McLaren Vale winery, Samuel’s Gorge. It was here where he developed a passion for pretty styled Grenache and wines that let the fruit do the talking as much as possible. Fast forward to the present day and Riley has developed a strong, loyal following of fans across the wine scene and a growing range of wines now that he has time to work on it more and more. Here you will find a strong mix of red wines with stripped back, minimalistic labels and strong names. The wines are a nice mix of conventional varieties from across South Australia’s classic wine regions in a modern, hands off approach.
