About the wine
Made for lovers of Italian red blends...
- Naked trailblazers Glen & Andrew have created this delicious Italian-style red from a blend of Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes from award-winning cool climate vineyards in NSW and QLD.
- Open a bottle and let the gentle scent of rose petals, red berries & cedar wood suck you in. This dry, fruity wine is bursting with red berry flavours and a touch of spiciness from 9 months in oak. Its mouth-puckering tannins feel like velvet on your tongue.
- This sensational wine was made in limited numbers. If you love Italian varietals, get a bottle or two while you can. It's going to be snapped up quickly!
Best before
With approachable tannins and fresh primary fruit aromas and flavours, this wine is delightful for immediate enjoyment. However, its intensity and persistence hint at excellent potential for long-term cellaring. Purchase several bottles and open one each year to experience and appreciate the benefits of bottle ageing.
Serving advice
Savour this wine with a hearty meal. In the summer, serve it at "European" cellar temperature, around 17°C. If you don't have a wine fridge, simply chill the bottle in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before serving
Food match
This wine embodies its Italian heritage beautifully. Pair it with a rich, comforting Italian dish, and with every sip, the fresh acidity will cleanse your palate, readying it for another delicious mouthful of Italian food.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Glen Robert
- Expect the unexpected from Glen Robert at La Petite Mort. A former medical research chemist, Glen fell under wine’s spell around 2000 – and never looked back.
- In 2014, he discovered Shiraz and Viognier vines in need of some TLC in Ballandean, on Queensland’s Granite Belt. Today, the 40-hectare Bent Road property is home to vines, winery, wilderness and granite boulders, stretching along the pristine Severn River at more than 750 metres above sea level.
- It’s a surprisingly cool, continental corner of Queensland – one of the coolest growing regions in Australia – and that climate gives Glen’s wines their distinctive elegance, savoury spice and depth of flavour.
- La Petite Mort is Glen’s label – avant-garde, experimental and made for curious drinkers, these are wines that happily throw the rulebook out the window. Think extended skin contact, ancestral techniques and plenty of Glen’s scientific curiosity – resulting in seriously intriguing wines for those who like their next bottle to be a little bit different.
