Sangiovese 56%,Shiraz 29%, Pinot Noir,15%,With Fruit picked on two dates, Pinot Noir & Shiraz 8th of March and Sangiovese the 20th of March. Fermentations blended as soon as the last grape arrived. Bottled 29th of May 2025.

Sangiovese deep colour, robust tannins, with both red skin and flesh that really contribute to the depth of colour Attached is the dark cherry, dried fig, roses, and warm embrace of Shiraz. Pinot Noir takes over the final furlong for a luxurious, satin-silk finish. The deep, brooding, black olive, and cherry-ripe scented nose captures the Italian inspiration of Rageous. Neither light nor full-bodied, Rageous evolves across the palate as each variety vies for attention. The unconventional set of tannins, courtesy of the blend of varieties, are youthful and grippy, yet nicely rounded off by the oak. Acidity underpins this wine, weaving through smoky red cherry and sweet raspberry fruit. It has a juicy finish with bundles of flavour.

The nonsense prose on the label ‘In the land of mules there are no rules’ was penned by Ogden Nash. Rageous is a mule who lived on our vineyard in that first vintage of 2006. Rageous is our wine that is a blend of grape varieties that outraged the conservatives with our first vintage in 2006, and so all the words and nonsense landed on the label.
