Vintage: 2022
Tasting notes: Fresh, lively and dangerously easy to drink. Expect bright citrus and stone fruit aromatics with white floral lift. There’s a lovely balance between crisp natural acidity and layered texture - thanks to lees contact, a bit of old oak, and the subtle skinsy glide from that splash of Vermentino. It’s all about vibrancy and drinkability, glass after glass, with just enough complexity to keep things interesting.
Winemaker’s notes: Riesling is always the heart of this blend - sourced from two standout sites west of Mount Barker that deliver that classic Great Southern purity and drive. Gewürztraminer joins the party for aromatic lift and textural depth (these are old, dry-grown vines), with a splash of Vermentino from Swinney’s vineyard adds its unique tension and glide.
Review: “Of all of Hoadley's wines, this is one of the longest-produced cuvées, and I love its predictably pleasurable way.” Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

Vintage: 2023
Tasting notes: Strawberries, cherries… and maybe an angel’s kiss in spring? Bright red fruit aromatics take the lead - think strawberry, cherry, a little rose petal - with just a whisper of stalky spice and earthiness for intrigue. The palate is soft, juicy and round, with gentle tannins and a savoury finish that keeps things on track. It’s more generous than a rosé, lighter than your usual red, and happy whether served cool or with a full chill. Utterly smashable.
Winemaker’s notes: Is Meunier a real Pinot? Unclear. Are we spelling things right? Also unclear. But what is clear: this wine is a celebration of Pinot diversity in all its forms. It brings together three different parcels from across the Great Southern. First, skin-fermented Pino Gris from Frankland for texture, spice and those lovely coppery hues. Then Pino Noir from Mount Barker for juicy, sappy red fruits and perfume. And finally, a splash of Pino Meunier from Denmark to add red berry lift and whole bunch crunch. Everything was wild fermented, low intervention, and blended for maximum drinkability. It’s bright, fun, and just a little bit weird - in the best way possible. Don’t dream it, drink it, baby.

Vintage: 2025
Tasting notes: Dark cherry and plum aromas, with a touch of amaro spice in the background. It needs a moment to open up, as brooding earthiness nestles among the red fruits. Excellent prospects for mid-term cellaring, but there’s plenty to savour right now, with a silky mouthfeel and lovely persistence of flavour. Definitely one to buy a few bottles for now and a few to lay down for the future.
Winemaker notes: Sourced from the same vineyard as our Chaguar chardonnay. The Kalgan River site is north-facing with an outlook to the Porongurup Range. This ironstone-rich block, planted with clones 115 and 777 is warmer than our Denmark site, typically ripening a week or more in advance, giving the wine more fruit density. Separate whole bunch ferment contributes twenty percent of the blend, bringing aromatic complexity and tannic depth. The ferment was hand plunged in small vessels over several weeks, then pressed to French hogsheads (15% new) to spend 9 months resting on fine lees prior to bottling.

Vintage: 2023
Tasting notes: Not your average savvy. This is all about texture, depth and savoury charm. Expect citrus peel, dried herbs, and subtle tropical notes layered over a gently grippy palate. There’s a savoury, creamy element from time in oak and on lees, but it stays bright and fresh. Complex, satisfying, and built for those who want something a little wilder from their white wine. Serve cool - not ice-cold - to really let it talk.
Winemaker’s notes: This is a special little side project with the good folk at Frankland Estate. They’ve been organically managing what’s probably the best low-yielding, old-vine Sauvignon Blanc block in the Great Southern - and they let me loose on a bit of it to see what would happen.
We went all in: seven days on skins to draw out minerality and aromatic punch, then pressed straight to new oak for a wild, solids-heavy ferment. Malolactic happened along the way. It was fully sauvage. After a cold, wet Denmark winter spent lazing about in a dark barrel cellar, it turned into something uniquely delicious - a proper treat for textural wine lovers.
Yields were tiny, so just 150 cases made. Don’t miss the ride.
Reviews: 94 Points. Kasia Sobiesiak, The Winefront
“This is new at La Violetta. Sauvignon Blanc cold soaked for a week then pressed to barrel. Made into fumé style and fumé style it is. Elegant and savoury. Confirmed with the first sniff, a mix of crushed herbs, peppermint tea and nettle, a hint of pineapple skin, slippery texture, a little oily but rather cool, like the feel of thick satin. Classic pairing comes to mind but I swear this wine has it in its aromas and flavours—chèvre with a dusting of herbs and drizzled with eucalypt honey. Stony, dry-bitter finish. So good. This is how I want to drink my SB.”
