New Zealander Dane Johns started his career in wine working for Bill Downie in Victoria, later moving on to start his own label with fruit sourced from just a few organic growers throughout the region. All of Dane’s wines are as hand-made as can be. Small ferments, wild yeast, no new oak, no mechanical pumps, no fining, no filtration and no additions.
As its namesake suggests this cuvée is an eclectic blend of components. It is crafted each year to resemble a style of wine Dane reveres (an energetic & complex light red). This is a cuvee which reflects seasonality and the experimentations undertaken with this particular vintage.
The wine drinks like a Ploussard or a savoury and fresh rosé. A very unique and cohesive wine, light, fresh & very energetic with loads of complexity and structure. Drink slightly chilled.
