The clue is in the name—this project is the result of a long-standing friendship between Norm Doole, Mike Farmilo, and Nick Whiteway, who share decades of experience across McLaren Vale, the Adelaide Hills, and beyond. With a clear mission to craft expressive, approachable wines, their combined expertise—from award-winning winemaking to international vintages—forms the foundation of a label rooted in authenticity, regional character, and pure drinkability.
The Colab & Bloom team have long been champions of Italian varietals in Australia’s Southern Fleurieu region, and the 2021 Ross is a vibrant expression of that focus. This lively blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese offers generous red berry fruit and layers of spice up front. Medium bodied and approachable, it’s balanced by food-friendly tannins and bright acidity that carry notes of cranberry and cherry blossom through a juicy, lifted finish.
A perfect match for bold pasta sauces or try with braised pork chops with balsamic, bitter greens and herbs to make a standout pairing.
