Introducing Not Your Grandmas White 2024.

Challenged by our importer friend in Japan to make an on-skins cloudy white we took the opportunity to reimagine and explore what the definitive white blend of the Barossa could be. Informed by tradition but unshackled from expectation this was an opportunity to let our hair down and run wild! From the Fechner Vineyard in the north of Eden Valley this is a true field blend of aromatic and zesty Eden Valley Old Vine Semillon, Riesling, Kerner, Pinot Gris & Gewrztraminer Fermented wild on-skins, think lemon squash laden with texture, refreshment and interest.

Unfined + unfiltered minimal intervention yet maximum care means this is a skin-contact, natural wine that is cloudy but fine! A micro-batch of only 200 doz, this is a Barossa field white like no other. We can guarantee grandma never drank a white quite like this!!

90pts “A skinsy Eden Valley blend of semillon, riesling, kerner, pinot gris and gewrztraminer. Mid-straw in the glass with notes of custard apple, white peach and citrus fruits with hints of soft spice, clotted cream, pressed wildflowers, poached pears, beeswax and lemon drops. Super slinky and textural on the palate with a brisk saline cadence and a stony-dry finish” – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
