Red, wet earth, black cherries, mulberry and subtle oak all contribute to this complex wine. A modest alcohol injects a note of juicy freshness to the core of supple, medium-bodied blackcurrant fruit, the tannins picking up nuances of earth and licorice. The tannins are soft, long and complex.

Laissez-Faire means “let it be” and this reflects our hands off approach.

Whilst we’ve learnt from organics, bio-dynamics and natural wine practices, we’re not dictated by one school of thought. We don’t subscribe to dogma. You could call them natural wines, but we like to think of them as “post natural wines”. 

We believe in healthy and sustainable vineyard practices, and a winemaking transparency with as little as possible between the vine and finished wine.

Whereas a lot of wines presented as “natural” can be sourced from chemically cultivated vines without accountability, we grow all our own grapes. Our Grenache and Syrah vines are dry grown. And whilst copper is allowed in organic viticulture, we use minimal copper treatments. 

In our Laissez-Faire winemaking, there’s no added tannin, or acid, or animal fining products. There is zero sulfur used throughout the winemaking, and only a minimal amount at bottling. We’re using alternate varieties and blends to make naturally balanced wines. 

From vine to bottle, the wine takes its course, hands free.

Vegan friendly.
