The 2025 Hedonist Light Red is a fresh and vibrant South Australian red showing raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry alongside violet, fresh herbs and subtle earthy spice. Its bright red-fruit character gives the wine an energetic, easy-drinking style, while gentle savoury and mineral notes add extra detail. The lighter structure makes it particularly versatile at the table and well suited to serving slightly chilled.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and lively, with bright acidity, soft tannins and layers of raspberry, cherry and fresh red berry. Subtle floral, herbal and earthy notes add complexity through the mid-palate, while a fine mineral character provides freshness and length. The texture is supple and juicy, with enough structure to give the wine shape without taking away from its vibrant fruit profile. The finish is dry, clean and refreshing, with lingering red berry, savoury herb and gentle spice notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy lighter Australian reds with bright fruit, fresh acidity and a relaxed, food-friendly style. It is best enjoyed young and can be served slightly chilled to emphasise its freshness. Best enjoyed over the next 2–4 years. Pair with roast chicken, duck and lentil salad, pork and fennel sausages, tuna niçoise, mushroom and thyme tart, or grilled eggplant with tomato and fresh herbs.
