- TASTING NOTE: "A hint of Australian billy tea, blackberries and smoked charcoal. Tonka bean, carob and native Davidson plums. Graphite, bitumen and clove. Red pomegranate juice acidity that enlivens the palate with powdery tannins. This wine takes you on a ride from its witches’ brew aromas, down more of a classic blackberries and cream path. Finishing with a moreishness of a medium-bodied wine. This is made for drinking often, and with a huge spectrum of foods. A great all round wine you should have stocked at arm’s reach. Drink now–2028" 92 Points - Shanteh Wale, The Vintage Journal - SA Wine Guide 2025
- ABOUT THE WINE: In 2023 Mankai is 50% Blewitt Springs Grenache, joined by organic & biodynamically grown Graciano and Touriga, with a splash of Mataro to flesh out the palate. Partial whole bunch fermentation, vinification and aging in stainless steel tanks and neutral aged French hogsheads and barriques. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Inspired by the eponymous essay on Japanese aesthetics by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows wines are about an immediacy, pleasure and the embrace of what lies in front of our eyes, rather than that which has fallen to the wayside of the past. In essence, Ikigai, or our reason for being. The wines, fine-boned, energetic and floral, are Mediterranean-accented, befitting McLaren Vale and the elevated reaches of Blewitt Springs and Clarendon, from whence much of the fruit is sourced. An emphasis is placed on organic material and a less-is-more approach, without it being a mantra. Halliday Wine Companion
