Budburst New Releases and Museum Releases Weekend - September 2025

As the vines awaken from their winter slumber with the bursting of the first spring buds, a sense of anticipation fills the air for the Hunter Family. This early stage in the vine's life cycle marks the beginning of a new season, full of promise and potential. With each delicate bud, there lies the hope of a bountiful harvest, the vines preparing to bear fruit that will carry the character of the land and the season. 

It is also at this time of year that the new vintages of our Chardonnay, Rosé and Kindred Shiraz are ready to be released having settled in their new glass homes.

But this years cellar door event is even more special, with the addition of our new white wine varieties to our range plus a very very special dessert wine that is totally unique to Sanguine and has its roots dating back to the late 1860's.  Despite their limited volumes and some not normally available for tasting, these wines plus other limited release wines will all be available to sample.

Date to be confirmed in September for the annual Budburst New Releases and Museum Releases tasting event.
