About

Cabernet Sauvignon with a splash of Syrah off black volcanic soils at Kangaroo Ground in the Yarra Valley, from organically grown fruit. Made with a light touch: four days' maceration with no plunging or pumping over, then seven months on light lees in stainless tank — no new oak anywhere. The result is fresh and direct, a claret in the drink-it-with-dinner sense rather than the cellar-it sense.

Producer note

Ephemera is the minimal-intervention label of winemakers Janelle De Gabriele and Rhen Dodd, who work with natural fermentation, seasoned vessels and no fining or filtering.
