A blend of Malbec, Syrah, and Viognier from two vineyards, this red blend comes alive in the glass with dark blue and black fruits and a heady floral character. Dense yet drinkable, the oak supports the fruit wonderfully, adding plushness. Millton Winery, the southern hemisphere's oldest biodynamically run winery, pioneered sustainable winemaking long before it was trendy. Founded in 1984 by James and Annie Millton, they were told they were crazy for growing grapes organically. Today, their 'Crazy by Nature' range pays homage to those naysayers, showcasing the trailblazing spirit and exceptional quality of their wines.
