- The MCC presents a ruby red colour and an appealing nose featuring notes of clove, cinnamon, cherries, and roses, combining wildness and perfume. The palate offers a contrast of sweet red fruit against spiciness, culminating in a clean, dry, and focused finish with distinct rose petals and cherry notes. This wine displays good acidity, contributing to its bright and fresh character while maintaining a rustic, food-friendly quality reminiscent of Australian Cotes du Rhone. Despite its pale colour, the wine exudes heady aromas of wild cherries, flowers, and spice. The palate is abundant with ripe red fruit flavours, complemented by hints of bitter almonds and herbs, while delicate, chalky tannins and a vein of acidity elevate the finish.

Winery | Brad’s lack of formal training has become an advantage, helping him to craft a range of wines that allow his experimental nature and pure instinct for the flavour to shine through. Hickey’s love of travel is also reflected in the labels, with the abbreviated grape names mimicking the international airport codes, which undoubtedly litter his well-travelled suitcases. |
