Kevin Red is a boutique winery dedicated to crafting quality wines that showcase the unique terroir of Tasmania. With a focus on sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques, the winery aims to produce wines that are both expressive and approachable.

Vintage Notes:
The 2024 vintage in Tasmania was marked by ideal weather conditions, with mild temperatures and adequate rainfall contributing to a healthy and even ripening of grapes. This resulted in high-quality fruit with balanced acidity and intense flavours.

Vineyard Notes:
The grapes for the Kevin Red 2024 are sourced from select vineyards in Tasmania, which are known for their well-drained soils and maritime climate. These conditions provide the necessary conditions for healthy fruit development and result in wines with distinctive characteristics.

Winemaking Notes:
After hand harvesting, the grapes were gently crushed and fermented with traditional methods using a combination of wild and selected yeasts. The wine underwent a prolonged maceration period, enhancing extraction and flavour complexity before being aged in French oak barrels for 6 months to integrate the fruit character with the oak.
