About This Wine

The “Iberion” marks Vanguardist’s first dry white wine since 2019, sourced from the organically and biodynamically farmed Basham Vineyard in South Australia’s Riverland. Conceived as part of the La Petite Vanguard range, it’s an energetic, bistro-style wine with complexity from the use of solids, skin contact, oak, and varied vessels.
