Vintage

Grapes for our Art Series wines are sourced from a selection of premium vineyards within the renowned Limestone Coast growing region. The diversity in climate and geography makes it the perfect fruit source for the equally diverse Art Series range. Vineyards are carefully selected based on their suitability for each wine’s individual personality. We look to warmer sub-regions for reds and cooler sub-regions for the whites. The wines are then crafted to a consistent style and quality, which is perfect for everyday drinking or more salubrious occasions.
