Hailing from the Rafa Vinyards in South Australia, the pioneers behind the quality boxed tipple certainly could have gone down a more traditional path of bottling their range but opted for the less trendy alternative. The reason actually makes perfect sense; the cask is perfectly suited to how The Winesmiths want their wine to be enjoyed – by the glass, not the bottle. The box also offers some added benefits of increased freshness and a lower carbon footprint than its bottled counterparts.

Perfect for packing in a picnic basket or enjoying outdoors (responsibly, of course), The Winesmiths range offers a classic chardonnay, a fresh and lively savingnon blanc, a bold shiraz, a delicate pinot grigio and a sassy tempranillo. Find The Winesmiths at bottle-shops or order a cask or two online.
