Description / Reviews
"Orbis’s Mazzy Sands Organic Vineyard is located in Maslin Beach within the McLaren Vale region. It is renowned for its exceptional Shiraz, which is the base for our sparkling rosé. This vineyard benefits from unique terroir, characterised by ancient soils and a Mediterranean climate. The soils around the Maslin Beach area and in this vineyard are called Ngaltinga Formation - typically heavy clays with high fertility. The 2024 vintage began with a dry spring, followed by a wet start to summer, then a dry stretch lasting 45 days. Vintage commenced in early February with Albariño, while later ripening varieties experienced a prolonged ripening period. The final harvest, including Montepulciano and Shiraz, took place in mid-April. Cooler ripening conditions produced balanced wines with pronounced varietal character and complexity." - Winemaker Notes
