Misfit

South Australian Shiraz and Riesling with unconventional blending vision.

Misfit produces wines from South Australia that reflect the region's bold character and diverse terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on two distinct expressions: Limited Edition Cycle Buff Beauty, a Shiraz-Malbec blend that marries the structure of South Australian Shiraz with Malbec's darker fruit and tannin profile, and The Golem Riesling, which showcases the aromatic and mineral qualities the region can achieve with this versatile white variety. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, with the Shiraz-Malbec blend earning particular recognition among prestige critics. The range demonstrates a willingness to work across varietal boundaries—pairing classic Australian Shiraz with the Bordeaux-associated Malbec, and exploring Riesling's potential in a warm climate context. South Australia's established reputation for fruit-forward reds and its capacity to produce complex whites provides the foundation for these offerings.
