Wine 1
Pindarie
Small Block, 2025
Fiano
Barossa Valley, South Australia
A beautifully balanced, medium-bodied dry wine.
Aromas of freshly picked white peaches and nectarines lift from the glass, leading to an expressive, textural palate bursting with flavours of grapefruit and preserved lemon. A vibrant line of acidity keeps it fresh and focused.

Wine 2
Pindarie
Rosedale Road Rose 2024
Sangiovese
Barossa Valley, South Australia
This variety is famous for its aromas of cherries, firm tannin, and relatively high acidity. It makes a medium-bodied red wine that is the perfect pizza accompaniment.
Those same attributes mean that when picked slightly earlier, it is also perfect for a vibrant, fresh Rosé. Drink it chilled, but not so cold that the lovely cherry and floral aromas are suppressed; then savour its gentle, savoury, textured finish.

Wine 3
Pindarie, TSS 2024
Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Shiraz
(33%, 33%, 34%)
Barossa Valley, South Australia
A Medium-bodied wine, perfumed on the nose and rewarding on the palate. The Tempranillo produced juicy Morello cherry fruit and the Sangiovese produced a wine of intense perfume with notable tannins, but Tempranillo is to the fore.
A Mediterranean style wine with the three varieties working in harmony together
