Crafted from certified organic grapes grown on the elevated Mangatahi terraces of Hawke’s Bay, Vermillion is Halcyon Days’ luminous take on Sangiovese. Hand‑picked and naturally fermented with no additions, it’s a blend of two expressions: one pressed like a rosé for freshness, the other fermented on skins for gentle structure.
The result is a light, vibrant red with aromas of bright cherry, pomegranate, and wild strawberry, lifted by a splash of Chardonnay. On the palate, it’s juicy and refreshing, with a fine tannic edge and a mouth‑watering finish that makes it as versatile chilled on a summer afternoon as it is at the dinner table. Unfined, unfiltered, and vegan‑friendly, Vermillion is a wine that celebrates purity, place, and playfulness.
