The Wine Front - 95 Points.
95 Points. ‘Lusty! Green apple, green mango, floral, a little salty and stony, some spice. This is a discreet sort of wine, nutty, chalk dust texture, clean but juicy acidity, a little steely, saline and savoury, finishes very long and fine with crunchy green apple and lime. Such energy and deliciousness. My word, this is a good wine’ - Gary Walsh

‘Strawberry, spice, peanuts and aniseed. It’s medium-bodied, a juiciness of ripe red fruits to it, a spicy and dusty grip to tannin, balanced acidity, dried flower mouth-perfume, a peppery finish of good length. Really pleasing wine offering a point of difference, and beautifully made too. Kind of Italianate in style. A very good drink. Recommended’ - Gary Walsh
Chilled red, need we say more… and YES she is named after Rizzo from Grease! What an sassy icon.
Rizzo 2025 expands our range of red blends and we have quite purposefully crafted this wine in a way its destine for the fridge, picnic cooler or beach ice box. Tempranillo, Sangiovese.
Rose petals and red berries on the nose, crunchy, lovely lick of velvety tannin, so bright, so refreshing, so fun.
Serve chilled

‘Gentle and more sophisticated style of Sauvignon. Quince, gooseberry, pink grapefruit, a suggestion of pineapple and creamed rice, spice and fennel. It’s soft, a little nutty and sake-like, saline and spicy, discreet acidity, fine powdery texture, with a gentle and juicy finish of good length. Quite different to your run-of-the-mill Sauvignon. A bit more of a fancy Loire style’ - Gary Walsh
The Rizzo Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from ORANGE, NSW.
Gentle cool maceration of the Cab Sauv retained elegance, plush fruit flavours and established conservative but structural tannins.
The Syrah parcel had just one day of skin contact and then was drained from skins to finish ferment in neutral french oak.
Bottled in March 2024, this wine is super fresh! Lovely lively acidity with pretty blue fruits.
Native yeast. Unfiltered.
ABV: 12.5%
