Summary: Cowpunk are a small batch wines made from single sites, crafted by Aaron Mercer and grown by long term friends and acquaintances. 100% unashamedly natural, Cowpunk is leading the charge for the modern drinker seeking wines made in a hands-off manner but still want complexity and enjoyment. Made by award winning winemaker Aaron Mercer this dynamic brand is organic, vegan, preservative free and features no additions. 

Vineyards: Sourced from a small vineyard in Canowindra, North of Cowra on the Belubla River. The vineyards are managed organically with minimal inputs and a sustainable focus. 

Winemaking: Made with a hands off approach. This Italian variety is known for its thick skins and bright red fruits producing savoury and textural medium bodied wines. Montepulciano fruit was picked and de-stemmed, fermented with wild yeast and left on skins for 10 days prior to pressing. Bottled early with no additions or preservatives. Vegan friendly, unfined and unfiltered 

Vintage 2022: A La Nina season brought much welcomed rain over the winter months and continued in providing a mild spring and summer. The cooler than average weather during harvest resulted in a longer ripening period and facilitated an outstanding flavour and tannin balance. Producing red wines with elegance and balanced natural acidity. 

Tasting Note: Lifted, vibrant and expressive with black cherry and plum aromas overlaid with light herbal and subtle gamey notes. The palate is fresh and crunchy with red fruits, smoky spice and a touch of balsamic twang before fine tannins and lively acidity ensure a bright and clean finish.
