A new HIP SIP for St Leonards Vineyard
Announcement posted by St Leonards Vineyard 02 May 2016
ST LEONARDS VINEYARD, the historic winery in the Rutherglen Wine Region, Victoria has launched a new range of compelling fortified wines.
The first wine to launch is the Tawny, which is predominantly made from Shiraz grapes. The wine has a mix of ripe berry and rancio characters on the nose from 2 - 5 years barrel maturation. On the palate there is rich fruit giving a generous mouth feel with hints of vanilla and chocolate. The wine has an attractive dry finish and is perfect with coffee and cheese or mixed into cocktails.
“HIP SIP was designed with compelling packaging to inspire the 25-35 age group” said Angela Brown, Sales and Marketing Director. “Fortified wine is not well understood by consumers but has a definite wow factor when they are enjoyed. We are hoping to capture the attention and bring new relevance to this unique wine style. The range will comprise three wines with the Muscat and Muscadelle to roll out in the coming months”.
HIP SIP Tawny (350ml) is now available at Dan Murphy’s, St Leonards Vineyard Cellar Door and online at www.stleonardswine.com.au for $20 RRP.
About St Leonards Vineyard: Founded in 1860, St Leonards Vineyard produces hand crafted wines from hand sorting to hand pressing using a beautiful 1880 French basket press the techniques employed ensure a delicate elegancy. Situated in a loop of the Murray River, St Leonards Vineyard is cooler than other vineyards nearby. Pelicans spiral down to the nearby lagoon and then glide silently through the reflections of the towering gums along the waterline. It is a very peaceful spot.
