Sui Generis VI (SOLD OUT)

Our Sui Generis range is born from a desire to keep exploring. With no Sui Generis wine ever being the same, we’re given an empty canvas to look at new varieties, vineyard sites, and wine styles. With each wine we build new friendships through collaborations with local creatives on labels.

2020 Vermentino

While being thrown a few curve balls in 2020 we were forced to search a little further afield to find small parcels of fruit. This Vermentino was farmed utilising organic practises by Ash Ratcliff at Ricca Terra Farms, Riverland.

The beautiful, expressive Vermentino spent 6 weeks on skins before going through secondary fermentation in steel. No filtration or additions besides a very small sulphur add (20ppm) prior to bottle in December 2020.

Artwork: Charlie Murray, and Cam Tidy – Fine Works.

“A non-standard label for a non-standard wine. Sui VI is a complex drop, equal parts playful and refined. Our creative direction embodies this duality in a tactile design that starts tapping your senses from the moment you start interacting. The overwhelming characteristic of this wine for us was its smoothness. We naturally gravitated towards using an organic shape that holds hands with the typography as it flows around the bottle. It was the perfect case of an open brief with Hamish simply saying, “go to town on this one guys”. So that’s what you’re looking at – the result of freedom in creative expression and a collaboration that was as fun to roll out as it is to drink.”
