The 2018 Homeless Grapes Project Cabernet Sauvignon was produced with surplus Coonawarra grapes that didn’t have a home, but online retailer Vinomofo worked with vignerons, wineries and the community to use the fruit to make a unique drop to raise funds for ac.care.
Staff from our homelessness team volunteered their time to pick the grapes, Coonawarra wineries pitched in with the wine making process and now all proceeds from sales of the wine ($25 per bottle) are donated to ac.care to support services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in country South Australia.
Order yours today and share the story next time you enjoy a glass with a friend.
