Sigurd Red

Description

Sigurd Wines is focused on natural wines in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. Winemaking is based on minimal impact to the grapes during vinification and is striving to source the best organic fruit from the Barossa Valley and surrounding regions. Dan Sigurd Graham was named after his Norwegian great-grandfather, who shared a similarly mischievous outlook on life. Sigurd Wines was born in 2012 with just two tonnes of Grenache from Blewitt Springs, which Dan fermented on a friend’s veranda. Sigurd is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Primitivo, and Mourvèdre from the Barossa (Mourvèdre out of Koonunga), Syrah from around Williamstown which Dan manages organically. Grenache from Tanunda and Rowland Flat and the Primitivo out of Northern Barossa area of Ebenezer.
