Tasting Notes

Aroma

Zesty lemon and white flowers.

Palate

A rich mid palate and a fine saline, moreish finish.

Vinification

Each of the parcels in ‘Les Blancs’ were made the same way — zero additions, aged on lees in neutral barrels for 9 months and then a small addition of sulphur before bottling.

Food Matching

Try with baked chicken or a nutty hard cheese.

Winemakers Comments

In 2023, we finally hand-picked a small amount of fruit and created one small barrel of wine. We also made a barrel of wine from Savagnin planted in 2001 (originally planted as Alberino?! — a whole other story!) and combined them with a barrel of Viognier from Eden Valley. The result of this very patient process is the start of ‘Les Blancs’, or if you prefer, ‘The Whites’ of the Barossa. The wine will be allowed to grow, change and speak of the many old Barossa white wine vineyards and the seasons they belong to.
