Site Wine
Alcohol can only be sent to recipients in Melbourne and Geelong.
Before they were brewers, the team at Hop Nation were winemakers, and it was only a matter of time before they returned to their roots. We’re so glad they did! Introducing Site Wine, small batch wine produced at their vineyard in Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula. Site Wines are grown and made using minimal intervention and sustainable practices. Hand-picked, natural fermentation, no fining or filtration.
Three options available. More info on each below …
2021 ROSÉ (750ml bottle)
Single site Malbec and Nebbiolo Rosé from Benalla, Victoria. Handpicked in early March 2021, before being whole bunch pressed to tank for natural settling. The wine was naturally stabilised over winter in the tank until it was ready for bottling. The wine pours a deep blush-pink colour. The wine displays aromas of strawberries and cream, with a hint of watermelon. It is soft and delicate on the palate, while still maintaining freshness. 13.3% alc/vol.
2022 SAUVIGNON BLANC (750ml bottle)
Single site Sauvignon Blanc from Hanging Rock, Victoria. After seven months fermenting on skins, our Sauvignon Blanc was then pressed to naturally settle before bottling. Unfined and unfiltered. Textural, complex, soothing. Showcasing passionfruit and gooseberry characters typical of the variety, but backed up with texture. A wine giving complexity and acid crunch, suitable to complement both delicate and fatty dishes. 12.0% alc/vol.
2022 SYRAH (750ml bottle)
Single Site Syrah from Benalla, Victoria. 100% whole bunch, 17 day ferment. Aged in French oak. Unfined, unfiltered. Complex, cherry, pepper. A medium bodied Syrah with loads of crunch and spice. Showing off cherries and cassis with a juicy mid palate. 13.8% alc/vol.

From select vineyards, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Handpicked, with natural fermentation. Hand plunged, basket pressed, aged in French oak on lees. Unfined and unfiltered. Bright, cherry, juicy.
