Winemaker's Craft
'Single Suitcase' Series

Created in the spirit of innovation, our winemaking team explores new varietals and styles and winemaking techniques, expanding the parameters of what it is to be a Saddler’s wine.

Winemaker’s Craft ‘Single Suitcase’ are limited release wines handcrafted in small batch.

In the pursuit of emerging varietals

Last year, we released the Winemaker's Craft 'Single Suitcase' Montepulciano with great success. We have continued this exploration of Italian varietals grown in Australia and have sourced some incredible fruit from the Adelaide Hills.

The Adelaide Hills is a region that is akin to the terroir in Italian and is emerging as a premiere producer of Italian varieties and styles in Australia.

Following on from last year's Montepulciano, Saddler's Creek will be releasing this Spring three Italian varietals in the Winemaker's Craft 'Single Suitcase' series; Barbera, Aglianico and Sagrantino.

The fruit for each wine was sourced from a single vineyard produced from clones originating in Italy. Carefully harvested and transported to the winery, where it was cold-settled and matured French oak for 6 months.

Bottled early to preserve the delicate fruit characters, these wines are a wonderful example of fruit driven, medium bodied, food friendly and very easy drinking wines crafted for pure enjoyment!

Winemaker's Craft 'Single Suitcase' Series

Winemaker’s Craft ‘Single Suitcase’ Series salutes the many immigrants who arrived in Australia during the 1950’s with only a handful of dreams and a single suitcase to build a better life.

Dreams in hand, these immigrants also bought their love of wine, family traditions and culture.

Winemaking is embedded in the Italian way of life and is an important part of the nation’s history. The new immigrants brought their love of table wine which significantly influenced our winemaking styles and with their viticulture knowledge, they planted their most beloved varieties and found Australia’s terroir akin to Italy’s.

In the pursuit of emerging varietals

Thanks to this influence, Australia’s viticultural community is now one of the most innovative and experimental in the world. We are proud to share with you our ‘Single Suitcase’ Barbera, Aglianico and Sagrantino, three of the beloved Italian varieties.

2021 Winemaker's Craft 'Single Suitcase' Aglianico

Aglianico {ALLI-AHN-ICO} is grown in the Southern regions of Italy and regarded as one of the three greatest Italian varieties. The deep garnet colour seductively leads to an elegantly perfumed wine. Medium bodied with native plum, cacao and fine building tannin. Best enjoyed with good food in good company.

2021 Winemaker's Craft 'Single Suitcase' Barbera

Barbera {Bar-beh-rah} is from the Piedmont region in Italy. A juicy medium bodied wine with plenty of flavour. Plush dark fruits, good acidity and gentle tannins makes it the ideal vino to sip on with family or pair with tomato, herb based sauces and rich meats.

2021 Winemaker's Craft 'Single Suitcase' Sagrantino

Our ‘Single Suitcase’ Sagrantino {SAH-GRAHN-TEE-NO} is a beloved Italian variety. It’s rich and savoury with generous fruit and substantial tannins, best enjoyed with hearty slow cooked meals.

2021 Winemaker's Craft 'Single Suitcase' Montepulciano

This ‘Single Suitcase’ Montepulciano is a lovely ‘new world’ example of this much loved Italian varietal. Bright energetic red fruits, with soft elegant spices and long persistent tannins.
