Wilkie Granny's Garden Chilled red

If you’re after a red that doesn’t overstay its welcome, that works great chilled and suits casual gatherings or warmer days: this is it. It offers genuine varietal character, artisan winemaking and a relaxed style that keeps things light without being banal. Plus its story, a loving tribute and thoughtfully made, makes the bottle a conversation piece, not just a drink.

Location: Heathcote & Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia
Winemaking / Farming techniques:
The Tempranillo was wild-fermented for 8 days on skins, then pressed and added to Sangiovese which underwent 4 days on skins before being pressed to stainless steel. The juice completed wild primary and malolactic fermentation–agement in stainless steel for four months before early bottling in August to preserve freshness.
Style / Body: Light-to-medium body with a refreshing, chilled-red profile; bright, juicy, and built for ease rather than heaviness.
Notes: Tart cherry, red-currant, and dried fig on the nose, with clove and subtle vanilla in the background. On the palate: fresh red berries, a hint of herbaceous spice, soft tannins and a chilled, “park-and-takeaway-pizza” vibe.
