Delicious rustic styled chilled red from Defialy.

So lively on the mouth its almost fizzy, with crunchy fruit flavours of blackberry, cranberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant, along with cola, dried leaves, mint, herbal notes, pepper, and blood orange. Delightfully taut on the finish.

It's complicated and different, but absolutely nice.

ABOUT DEFIALY

DEFIALY is the work of Micah Hewitt, a winegrower & maker based in the Macedon Ranges, VIC. Passionate about regenerative & sustainable farming and having a hands off, minimal intervention approach in the cellar, the wines are a pure expression of site and season.

In addition to farming his vineyards in the Macedon Ranges he is also sourcing quality fruit from like minded growers in the Central Victorian area and at time beyond there to be able to work with other Italian & French varieties not found closer to home. Some wines are an unconventional blend of varieties, whereas others are pure single site varietal wines but always put together with thought and care for maximum enjoyment.

Inspired by the love his parents had for each other, and their children, Defialy (Don’t Ever Forget, I’ll Always Love You) is named for them.

Micah makes wines that he loves to drink and share with friends, pure vibrant wines that speak of nature, with nothing but stomped grapes inside.
