A vibrant and energetic light red from the Barossa Valley, the 2023 Rouge from Geyer Wine Co captures the lifted, drinkable style that has made Colin Geyer one of Australia's most exciting minimal-intervention producers.

A blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and other Rhône-inspired varieties, the wine is all about freshness, perfume and texture rather than weight. Bright aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry, blood orange and crushed herbs leap from the glass, layered with delicate spice and earthy complexity. The palate is supple and juicy, driven by vibrant acidity, fine tannins and a savoury edge that keeps the wine beautifully balanced and dangerously easy to drink.

Unfined, unfiltered and made with a gentle hand in the cellar, this is modern Australian wine at its most expressive. Pure, alive and full of character. Slightly chilled, it becomes almost impossible to put down.
