FOLLOWING in the footsteps of Banrock Station, the team from Shingleback in McLaren Vale has just launched its new “The Bio Project” range of wines for Coles.
The Bio Project, which has included 200 volunteers, represents Shingleback’s ongoing commitment to undertake native revegetation within its Davey Estate vineyard. Shingleback is a single-estate, family-owned winery that controls all aspects of the winemaking process, from growing the fruit, to bottling the wines.
In conjunction with the McLaren Vale Biodiversity Group, a four-hectare wetland area has been planted with a selection of beneficial insect-attractive native plants. The trio comprises the 2019 The Bio Project Tempranillo Blend, the 2020 Bio Project McLaren Vale Fiano and 2020 The Bio Project Monastrell Dry Rosé.
No animal products were used in making any of the wines, which means they are all vegan friendly. The range retails for $25 a bottle at Vintage Cellars, Liquorland and First Choice Liquor Markets.
