Genie Gef Nat 2023

A bit of background: Genie is eternally smiley winemaker Jeanie Taylor, who makes these wines on the NSW South Coast with fruit from the esteemed Rosnay Organic Vineyard in the Central West. Gef is Jeanie’s dog and labelling buddy who is often in the way. And the wine? Shiraz with a smidgen of skin-contact chardonnay. All handpicked, de-stemmed and directly basket-pressed. Hand-disgorged after six months. Leads with the freshness and crunch of Pink Lady apples, but cranberry, pomegranate and sour cherries come through as well. A perky little party-starter.
