2024 Aeon Light Dry Red
The "Light Dry Red" is a Hunter Valley institution, a historic style that blends Shiraz and Pinot Noir. Alisdair Tulloch’s take on the classic pays homage to that history while firmly planting a flag in the modern era.
The 2024 release is composed of 70% Syrah and 30% Pinot Noir. That significant hit of Pinot is the key here - it gives the wine a bright, lifted energy that you just don't get from straight Shiraz.
True to the Aeon philosophy, it is 100% whole bunch fermented, unfined and unfiltered. This minimal intervention approach preserves a crunchy, fresh fruit character that makes the wine incredibly smashable. It is designed to be drunk straight away, ideally with good food and good company. A perfect red for the warmer months.
