Stargazer Rada 2025
Coal River, Tasmania
This is the first time that Samantha has veered away from the Pinot Meunier- Pinot Noir blend for Rada. This 2025 vintage of Rada is in fact a Pinot Noir and Gamay blend of the popular Rada wine, modelled on the Burgundian Passe-tout-grains wines – a style that is light, fresh, well-fruited with immediate appeal, very much in the ethos of Rada blend.

Description
The Pinot Noir comes from a small vineyard just outside of Richmond as per previous vintages, while the Gamay is from a small block Sam planted at her Palisander Vineyard in Tea Tree planted in 2021 to two clones, BGY19 and 222. Both vineyards are primarily brown dermosol on Jurassic dolerite.
All the Pinot Noir was destemmed while both the Gamay picks underwent carbonic maceration for 10 days prior to being destemmed and fermented out. The Pinot Noir parcels were cold soaked for three days prior to being warmed up for wild ferment (by indigenous yeasts) which lasted for about seven days prior to being pressed to tank. The wine was then racked off gross lees to older Francois Freres and Ermitage French oak puncheons with six months in oak on fine lees before bottling. Final blend: 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Gamay.
