Gonzo Vino has launched its latest range of cask wines, named cardboardeaux, with three variations: Boomer Juice, Splishy Splashy and Get a Grip.
Founded in 2018 by sommelier Marcus Radny, Gonzo Vino works with vineyards across South Australia with a focus on mediterranean varieties that are sustainably grown and packaged to reduce carbon footprint.
“The quality of Gonzo Vino is at the top of its game and once opened you can drink it across six to eight weeks, without worrying about the wine oxidising within days like it would in a glass bottle. The bag in the box style is by far the most climate-friendly and cost-effective method. It’s also far less fragile and easier to transport,” said Radny.
Radny said the major challenge in ‘making cask wine cool again’ largely stems from its lowbrow history.
“Cask wine has had a bad rep for a long time, mainly due to the perception that it’s still about large volumes of cheap wine with no personality.
90 per cent of wine produced globally is consumed within a year. Cask wine isn’t made to be cellared, it’s made to be drunk and enjoyed,” said Radny.
The latest Gonzo Vino range is available online for RRP $66.00 per 3L cask.
