About the wine
Rare small batch Carmenere
"Great balance of flavours and fills a void between Pinot Noir and and Cabernets. Excellent for cold meat or pasta lunch dishes." - Jim, Angel
This wine in 3 words:
Magic: A true unicorn — Carménère as rare as hens’ teeth in Australia, slowly ripened with care and patience.
Taste: Ripe raspberry, warming spice, silky tannins, and a polished French oak finish.
Food: Lamb cutlets, chargrilled veg, mushroom risotto, or anything with smoky, savoury depth.An extraordinary find - Carménère as rare as hens’ teeth in Australia. Slowly ripened under the Aussie sun, rewarding patience in the vineyard and precision in the winery.
The craft: A tiny Mornington Peninsula batch, matured for 12 months in top-tier French oak to fully integrate tannins and build depth and polish.
In the glass: Ripe raspberry and warming spice, beautifully balanced tannins, and a long, classy French oak finish - a rare treat from one of Australia’s true trailblazers, Kevin McCarthy.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Kevin McCarthy
- Kevin's award-winning winemaking career spans decades and his success is largely thanks to his silky talents and his steely courage. Widely recognised as the founding father of Pinot Gris/Grigio in Australia, Kevin McCarthy is, and always has been, a rebel - a deadset heretic.
- Taught by the masters in Alsace, France and Collio, Italy, he's helped change the Australian wine landscape as we know it. Kevin was encouraged by his mentors to take risks, experiment and ignore fear. As a result, his first venture many years ago, the famous T’Gallant winery put the Mornington Peninsula wine region firmly on the map. It was there, in 1993, they released their first Pinot Grigio and the Aussie Pinot G revolution was underway!
- Liberated by Angels in 2013, Kevin continues along the path less travelled, inspired by winemaking experiences around the globe. For the past twenty years he's travelled Victoria and South Australia looking for special vineyards and uses premium fruit from the Mildura region as well as the Mornington Peninsula in his fabuous wines.
