Summary: Sweet Caroline wines are thoughtfully crafted for an easy-drinking and sophisticated wine experience. These are a refreshing range of wines entirely for those of us who love the softer, light and fruity taste of wine. Each variety is a pure and classic expression showing bright, elegant and gentle sweet fruit flavour that finishes light, soft and very long. You ‘ll know even before you take your first sip, Sweet Caroline is just what you’ve been looking for!

Winemaking: Seeking bright sweet-fruited berries in a well-established sunshine laden vineyard. Parcel selection in the vineyard has enabled all hand-picking before being transferred to the winery for whole bunch pressing into 100% stainless steel for fermentation. A short maceration, spending some time on skins to extract colour and mouthfeel. The wine is then fermented, which is ceased just prior to dryness. The wine is then blended and bottled early to ensure is ultra-fresh.

Vintage 2024: Is a wonderful vintage to craft Sweet Caroline wines. An early cold period leading to a mild temperature growing season ensured full and even ripeness was achieved across red and white varieties alike. Yields were down, but flavours were bold and energetic. Parcel selection in the vineyard enabled timely picking of bright, sweet-fruited berries that are perfect for the soft and fruit driven wine style being crafted.

Tasting Note: Vibrant and bright garnet hue, fruit forward presenting ripe blackberries, dark cherries which also present on the palate as rich fruit flavors balanced by subtle acidity and soft, velvety tannins.
