2024 'Brothers' Light Red
2024 'Brothers' Light Red
Name Story: 2014 to 2024 Jono and Damon Koerner were in partnership together with Koerner Wine. During this time they created a wine range called ‘Brothers’ and this Light Red was one of the main wines within that range. We want to continue the legacy of that through this wine.
Tasting Notes: Light, fresh, juicy, crisp and very easy drinking! Fragrant red berries on the nose and a palate full of strawberries and raspberries, which makes for a very fun and refreshing drop.
