HISTORY
The Hedonist wines are made by Walter Clappis, a well known Australian winemaker who is a leading exponent of biodynamic and sustainable viticulture. Walter's partner is his winemaker daughter Kimberly.
REGION
The Hedonist's vineyard is the 88 acre Winterfold vineyard in the hills above Willunga in the southern, more ocean-cooled sector of McLaren Vale in South Australia.
RANGE
The Hedonist range is an [Unoaked] Chardonnay, a Shiraz and a Cabernet Sauvignon. The reds are labelled Biodynamic however the Chardonnay is not as a portion of the blend is sourced from a vineyard that is not yet certified biodynamic, although it is currently farmed biodynamically.
