Sonnyboy
Our most expressive orange wine, Sonnyboy has earned cult status for good reason. Vibrant, juicy, and endlessly refreshing, it’s the bottle you’ll want within reach all summer long – from Christmas barbecues to lazy afternoons by the ocean.

Bursting with tropical fruit, peach, grapefruit peel, and heady aromatics, with very gentle savoury spice and refreshing acidity line

This tongue-in-cheek nod to the ice block is a fun, skinsy, adult's-only treat. Winemakers Tony Zafirakos and Maddison Park-Neilson are ones to watch.

Splash it in the glass and it's a hive of activity. Green mango, pineapple cake and barbecued peach get you in the mood. It's juicy with well-balanced acidity. An attractive skinsy appeal drives the textural profile with a flash of ginger adding a fine spice to a long tail.
Shanteh Wale, Wine Pilot, 91 points
The wine is awake with tinned peaches, mango cheeks and juiced pineapple. Papaya, jackfruit and preserved limes. The tannins compliment without contrasting the showy element of its fruit profile. Instead it’s animated with tropical fruit dreams from start to finish. A real trip down memory lane filled with carefree days and endless fun. Joyous. Drink alone or with a good bakery sausage roll.
