Down the Rabbit Hole, ‘Joy & Bliss’ Chardonnay, 2018
£14.95This wine is Down the Rabbit Hole’s Joy & Bliss. There’s a drop of happiness in every sip. A creamy mouthful with hints of passion fruit and honeydew, followed by a crisp finish with long lasting flavour.
As with all the labels, this pencil sketched illustration represents a line of Down the Rabbit Hole’s signature poem – and this one is “Another world of Joy & Bliss”
Domenic and Elise Palumbo are incredibly happy to bring to the UK this Chardonnay. In their words, “it’s our idea of perfect. Crisp and vibrant, with just enough oak to give it that silky finish. We are confident this will be a crowd pleaser, and will be exactly what you’re after when the light turns golden at the end of the day.”
At Tilley’s we were very excited to add to Down the Rabbit Hole’s growing family. We love all chardonnay and don’t discriminate but see a place for this light easy-going style. It gets us into the Festival spirit and makes us want to our own Scout VW Campervan for our own road-trip adventures!

The fruit for Down The Rabbit Hole Tempranillo is grown in South Willunga, McLaren Vale. Warm Summer days are cooled by evening sea breezes from St Vincent’s Gulf, which lies a close proximity to the West. The soil is rich loam over clay with patches of underlying limestone, giving the wine a rich and fullness of pallet. The Mediterranean climate of McLaren Vale is well suited to growing this Spanish variety.
WINEMAKING NOTES, WALTER CLAPPIS
The 2016 Vintage was warm and dry throughout Summer producing intense colour and flavour. After spending 8 days on skins, the wine was pressed into seasoned oak to mature for 12 months.

Down The Rabbit Hole, Sangiovese Cabernet 2015
£15.95In this bottle awaits a wonderful experience. Sangiovese brings lifted dark cherries, spice and powdery tannins, while the Cabernet adds succulent berry notes and provides a smooth finish. Matured in seasoned French oak, they come together in perfect harmony to create a rich and savoury wine that’s about to blow your mind.
Winemaker’s notes, Walter Clappis:
This Sangiovese Cabernet is a blend of two parcels from two small vineyards in the Willunga foothills area of McLaren Vale. Fermented in open top fermenters, the Cabernet was kept on skins for 10 days, while the Sangiovese remained on skins for 30 days. This allows the tannins to integrate and soften, while still providing length and structure.The parcels were kept separate until final blending prior to bottling.
Suitable for vegans!
