In 2022, a mild season led to a wine with finesse and nuance, captured in the aromatic complexity and balanced acidity. The wine’s bright red fruit and deep chocolate notes are a reflection of the terroir, with the Grenache grown on red-brown earth and the Carignan on classic Terra Rossa soils.

Meet the maker: Adrian Hoffmann

Sixth generation and current custodian of the Hoffmann Vineyard Adrian grew up on the property spending a lot of time with his grandfather, Gordon. Fortunately for Adrian, this time together meant that Gordon shared his deep-rooted knowledge of the district, the family farm, and farming. He also encouraged Adrian to learn on the job, tolerating mistakes and allowing him to learn from them.

He possesses a rare source of multi-generational, viticulture knowledge – an innate understanding of the dirt, climate, vines – which he complements with the latest research, a marketing focus, and a commitment to continually developing the vineyard.
