Cloud Cuckoo Land is an imaginary state of absurd over optimism – something that we at Wild & Wilder are often accused of. Indeed, not so long ago, if we’d said that we wanted to make high quality, low intervention wines made from Mediterranean varieties in the Riverland, Cloud Cuckoo land is exactly where people would have said that we lived! But, we believe that anything is possible if you don’t see the obstacles, you challenge the “received wisdom” and resist the naysayers. Cloud Cuckoo Land is for everyone who feels the same.

Jammy with generous fruit sweetness.

100% Graciano

Grapes were selected from the best plots to make this wine. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 25-28 °C, with automated pumpover control to ensure that aromatic and colour compounds were extracted.

Great aromatic complexity and intensity. Outstanding notes of red and dark berries, chocolate and cream, together with toasty and balsamic notes, all of these well-integrated by their passage through barrels.

Tasty in the mouth, well-structured and powerful. The tannins are noble and mature, and the wine has is full bodied, providing a very full mouthfeel. Jammy notes with toasty and cocoa hints.

Lifted aromas of fresh cut culinary herbs, white flowers, lavender and lemon curd, with nuances of nutty spicy oak. As the wine opens, aromas of hazelnut, lilac, jasmine, white peach and orange blossom emerge. The palate is super intense and beautifully defined. Complex fruit aromas mingle with savoury depth, as the palate is driven by bright citrus line and length. The tightness and power to the finish is outstanding. There is a delightfully fine texture, beautiful acid thread and super fine phenolics on the finish. Power, intensity, elegance and grace. Cellar 6-12 years.

From the winery...

Crafted from handpicked grapes sourced from the renowned Gimblett Gravels, this Chardonnay showcases both power and elegance. It offers layers of ripe stone fruit, zesty lemon curd, and subtle hints of roasted nuts. The complex palate is complemented by a delicate balance of creamy texture, oak undertones and bright acidity, resulting in a wine of depth, structure, and refined tension. Only four barrels were produced (50% of which were new). 

Region: Hawke’s Bay. 

Vintage: 2021. Percentage Alc: 14%

A really lovely bouquet with enticing scents of pineapple and barrel spices, vanilla and clove then a creamed Brazil-nut and butter quality. A dry wine on the palate, full-bodied with a flinty reductive character then flavours of grapefruit and peach, clove and lots of texture. Fine tannins and medium+ acid line, plush, elegant and delicious. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029.

6% - Simcoe, Strata & Southern Cross Cali Pils

My turn. I Spy With My Little Eye Something Beginning With S. I’ll give you a hint. It’s green, and hoppy. Cali style dry hopped Pils, packed with Simcoe, Strata & Southern Cross hops in every form we could find, all in a crisp clean bright pilsner. Simply sensational.

A superior light beer. Brewed using the finest barley malt, select grains, all-imported hops and a pure-cultured yeast strain. The special choice of grains combined with the extended mashing process produces a smooth, refreshing beer with fewer carbohydrates
