Lila Magnum - Carignan 2023 by Sigurd

This project began as our little tribute to sharing wine with people we love. We believe bigger is better when it comes to bringing people together, and these magnums are perfect for that. The wines feature some unusual grape varieties for Barossa - Trebbiano and Carignan - creating easy-drinking, fun wines that celebrate community and companionship. The beautiful artwork was created in collaboration with our dear friend Madi Gillies, who designed each illustrated character's body language to subtly reflect the characteristics of the wines inside. It's been such a joy working with her on this project. While we're saying goodbye to Lila, we're excited for what's coming next!

Trebbiano: she’s assertive and confident, with just the right amount of sass - she’s the life of the party!

Rose: she’s playfully shy and a little bit cheeky. She’s captivating and compassionate - loved by all!

Carignan: the fraternal twin of Rose (both from the same grape variety) Carignan is fun, laid-back and light-hearted - loves a compliment almost as much as he loves his natty wines! 

Whole bunch fermented Carignan is left to bubble away in a type of fermentation called intracellular fermentation - a process specific to whole bunches. This is pressed off after about 3 weeks and then left to settle in stainless steel, a small amount of sulfur (30ppm) is added, and then we wait about another month before bottling.
