95 Points GOLD Halliday Wine Companion. And Preservative-Free!
When you think of Puritan - think fresh, vibrant and YOUNG! This wine is made in the vein of Spanish ‘Joven’ style reds wines that are made from Tempranillo. Puritan is a Shiraz, however. The puritan was allowed to go through MLF (malo, or malolactic fermentation) and then bottled immediately. Puritan spends no time in oak and has no added preservatives (sulphur dioxide).
ABOUT BATTLE OF BOSWORTH
Battle of Bosworth (and Spring Seed Wine Co) makes organically grown and certified wines from family vineyards located near the township of Willunga in McLaren Vale, South Australia. The brand was established in 2001 by Joch Bosworth and Louise Hemsley-Smith, and makes wine using vineyards planted in the 1970’s by Joch’s parents. Battle of Bosworth takes its name from the original Battle of Bosworth, fought on Bosworth Field, Leicestershire, England in 1485. The Spring Seed wines are also made from our organically grown grapes. The labels for these wines were inspired by turn of the last century flower seed packets. Owned and run by Joch Bosworth (viticulture and winemaking) and partner Louise Hemsley-Smith (sales and marketing), this winery takes its name from the battle that ended the War of the Roses, fought on Bosworth Field in 1485. The vineyards were established in the early '70s in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The vines are fully certified A-grade organic. Shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay account for 75% of the plantings. The Spring Seed Wine Co wines are made from estate vineyards. - JAMES HALLIDAY

What The Critics Say
“Organic estate fruit fermented in tank and bottled after mlf, with no sulphur employed. This is such a joyous wine, unencumbered by oak, a full buoyant expression of lovingly grown fruit. There should be more like it. Untrammelled by winemaking, this is a riot of violet, lilac, boysenberry, blackberry, blueberry, lavender and iodine, with hints of salted licorice, cola, gingerbread and a tarry mineral-like note. But this is no gushing fruit bomb, with tannins matched to effusiveness, and the general feel medium in heft and savoury in conclusion. This is really very lovely.”

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Battle Of Bosworth
5 Star Winery Award in Halliday Wine Companion 2026
Battle of Bosworth was established in 2001 by Joch Bosworth and Louise Hemsley-Smith on vineyards planted by Joch’s parents in the 1970’s. The wines take their name from the original Battle of Bosworth, fought on Bosworth Field, Leicestershire, England in 1485. Battle of Bosworth make wines with flavour, texture, purity and balance, that best express the unique characteristics of their McLaren Vale foothills site. Joch’s vision and commitment to organic viticulture has underpinned the success of the Bosworth Wines business, capitalising on the rising consumer interest in organics over the last two decades.
They also make the Spring Seed Wine Co range of wines, which as with the Bosworth wines, are made using organically grown grapes from our McLaren Vale vineyards. Joch likes to call it our parallel label.
