Summary: Tread Softly is a contemporary range of wines seeking to deliver delicious, freshly flavoured wines that are naturally medium weighted and moderate in alcohol. By using more sustainable vineyard management and wine-making techniques to ensure their production has had a minimal impact to the environment. Tread Softly is committed to reducing their carbon footprint and so commits to planting an Australian Native Tree for every 6pk sold.

Vineyards: Sourced from established vineyards of the rich soils of the border of Victoria and South Australia. The vines are mostly dry-grown and utilise expert canopy management to help to control ripening and vigour. 

Winemaking: Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months in tank on solids prior to bottling and an early release. 

2023 Vintage: Thankfully the heat and rains of previous years have not played a significant role in this vintage. The days have generally been warm and the night have cooled. This has created a loner growing season than unusual and certainly than in most recent times. Creating wines of additional character & complexity.

Tasting Note: Wonderfully Pale pink with lifted aromas strawberries and vanilla as well as subtle spice. Vibrant palate of red fruits, with lifted citrus and floral notes. Fresh and flavoursome with a creamy texture this will be perfect with a variety of dishes especially a seafood barbecue.
