Artefact Wine
The Artefact collection is a unique range of small batch artisan wines, made only in the finest years and produced in limited volumes. These collections are remarkable for various reasons, whether based on exceptional harvests, innovative wine making techniques, or creative blends.
Our Artefact range is a playground of experimentation, celebrating the ingenuity of our winemakers. To reflect this creativity, each Artefact wine is adorned with a new commissioned artwork from a contemporary artist that reflects its individual qualities.
