About the wine

A youthful wine which is fresh and vibrant! Very easy drinking with delicious ripe red fruit, floral and herbal undertones and a pepperiness to the finish. A great wine to enjoy with pizza and pasta and tomato bases sauces.

The Shirax and Viogner grapes are hand harvested and fermented with minimal intervention. Spontaneous fermentation turns the juice into wine. Every part of the process is conducted with minimal intervention. After the fermentation, the wine is pressed and transferred to stainless steel tanks and oak barrels where it ages for 9 months, followed by bottling at the winery.

About the wine

Scali aim to have as little impact on the environment as possible also extends to their choice of bottling and packaging and they use light weight glass bottles, natural wax for the capsules and recycled paper labels. Each SIRKEL design is individually hand stamped on the label by seasonal workers in the off season, when they would normally not have an income. This labour intensive waxing, stamping and labelling forms part of Scali's community project to benefit people in the vicinity with a means to sustain their families.
