'Into The Black' is a 100% whole-bunch fermented Syrah, sustainably farmed by the legendary Leasks; a single vineyard high on the ridge above McLaren Vale. Pretty florals and heady spice aromas, followed by berries, plum, olive, and a dusting of cocoa. Fleshier and flashier than last year’s, but still svelte and medium-bodied, with velvety tannin to finish. Feels generous, like a warm hug or whipped tahini served with dukkha and date butter.

Worlds Apart Wines are artisan wines made from the best vineyards in South Australia. After more than a decade working in fine wine retail and the world’s best restaurants, Louis Schofield created Worlds Apart Wines in 2017 with a simple goal: to make wine thoughtfully, that is also delicious. Sourcing sustainably grown grapes from significant sites in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and their own backyard in the Adelaide Hills, Schofield and his wife Hannah Jeffrey are delivering on a promise to make beautiful wine that is eminently drinkable and downright delicious. Louis draws on his training under the late, great winemaker Taras Ochota, and makes wines inspired by cult Australian and European producers, famed Burgundies, and winemaker peers and friends in the Adelaide Hills and surrounds. He and Hannah have recently built their own winery in the Hills, to ensure the future of Worlds Apart.
