The Wine
There is something about our vineyard. A spark. A prickle of static, something almost electric! The vineyard is dry-grown, and the roots need to go deep into the soil in search of water, touching the ironstone that lies deep below the vineyard.  
The wine is a bright, deep, dense red. The aromas of plums, musk lollies, and other sweet spices all pop in different directions as they hit your nose. There is a spark of flint, like two rocks impacting each other with great force. The palate is savoury, soft and smooth with a little tenseness, like ironstone being released from the glass.

The Winemaking
Made by Candice and Frewin at the CRFT winery in Carey Gully.
Hand-picked, then cold-soaked, followed by wild fermentation in an open-top tank with 25% whole bunch. Pressed to barrel once dry for wild malolactic fermentation and maturation on full lees. Occasional lees stirring. Matured for 10 months in 100% French oak, 15% new.
13.5% alc/vol. Vegan-friendly.

The Vineyard
If there is one reason why we tough out the cold climate at Arranmore, well, this vineyard is it! Being an East/South-facing slope atop a breezy hill, it can feel relentlessly cold. When we drive out of the driveway, it feels like anywhere in SA is warmer than us, and that's probably the truth.

Estate-owned, managed and farmed, the 5-acre Arranmore Vineyard has been farmed organically since Frewin & Candice took ownership in January 2016. Certified Organic since February 2019.
