With its vibrant red hue, this wine bursts with aromas of red forest berries, vanilla, gentle brown spices, and delicate red florals. It’s a beautiful expression, featuring lively, juicy fruit flavors and a harmonious palate with a smooth texture and a crisp, clean finish. Perfectly paired with a charcuterie platter.

Crafted for the conscious consumer, Tread Softly is certified sustainable, made with modern vineyard and water management techniques to minimise environmental impact. It is bottled in sustainable, lightweight glass and the wine styles are balanced, medium weighted and naturally lighter in alcohol. Since 2019, the brand has planted a tree for every case sold in efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and to date, has planted 2.6 million trees in the ‘Tread Softly Forest’ (and counting).

A cooler than average growing season, frost, the lack of rain and poor weather during flowering including strong winds throughout November and December resulted in lower yields however, the dry and consistent weather during picking resulted in a vintage of high-quality fruit. 

Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated, and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months in tank on solids prior to bottling and an early release 2024.
