The Pollinator Shiraz is a vibrant, fresh, and unoaked expression from McLaren Vale. Bursting with plum and red berry aromas, it delivers a lively and balanced palate with integrated tannins and a clean, refreshing finish. Made entirely organic with no added preservatives, this Shiraz is a pure, natural expression of its vineyard.

Why You'll Love It

This is natural winemaking at its finest. Made entirely organic with no added preservatives, The Pollinator showcases the biodiversity and organic practices of the Thomas Block vineyard. Hand-harvested and gently hand-plunged for 14 days in open-top fermenters, the wine is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant, unoaked character. Winemaker Ashleigh Seymour employs biodynamic and organic viticulture on deep alluvial soils to create a wine that's fresh, pure, and full of life—a true expression of McLaren Vale terroir.

Meet the Producer

Winemaker Ashleigh Seymour crafts The Pollinator to highlight the biodiversity and organic practices of the Thomas Block vineyard. Situated on deep alluvial soils at the base of McLaren Vale, the estate employs biodynamic and organic viticulture to produce wines that reflect their unique terroir with elegance and vibrancy.

Production

Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and tipped into open-top fermenters. Gentle hand plunging for 14 days extracts the vibrant flavours and colour from the fruit. After primary fermentation, the wine is pressed into stainless steel tanks for secondary fermentation, retaining freshness and purity. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes brief ageing in stainless steel, including malolactic fermentation, to enhance texture while preserving fruit intensity. The wine is bottled early to maintain its lively, unoaked character.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby in colour, the wine displays aromas of plum, red berries, and subtle floral notes. The palate is vibrant, fresh, and medium-bodied, with integrated tannins and a clean, energetic finish.

Food Match

Pairs beautifully with mushroom hotpot, seasonal vegetable dishes, and light game or poultry preparations. Also excellent with pizza or pasta.
