Hey Mate! is an homage to David's Australian internship at ‘Commune of Buttons’ where he learned the secrets of semi carbonic Pinot Noir. His is rather quintessential in its own right. Bright, grapey, yeasty, but also varietal, it handles a chill and unfurls as it is aired and warmed. What is initially primary and simple, suddenly becomes more, and this continues until the bottle is empty. Bottled with a crown cap it is a still wine that sometimes picks up just a prickle of fizz.
