Summary: Crafted for the conscious consumer, Tread Softly is certified sustainable, made with modern vineyard and water management techniques to minimise environmental impact. It is bottled in sustainable, lightweight glass and the wine styles are balanced, medium weighted and naturally lighter in alcohol. Since 2019, the brand has planted a tree for every case sold in efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and to date, has planted 2.6 million trees in the ‘Tread Softly Forest’ (and counting)….

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.

2025 Vintage: The 2025 vintage was marked by a fast, hot, and compressed season, with early harvesting driven by persistent heat and low rainfall. Despite challenging conditions, quality was exceptional—reds showing depth, structure, and intensity, and whites delivering freshness and vibrancy.

Tasting Note: Ripe red berries, vanilla and gentle brown spices and floral essence. It’s a beautiful expression, featuring lively, juicy fruit flavours and a harmonious palate with a smooth texture and a crisp, clean finish. Perfectly paired with a charcuterie platter.
