New World wines are never in the shadows of Europe in our book. Wines in this 6-pack range from super easy to highly complex, terroir-driven stuff that will make your head spin (in a good way).
In this Box you will get:
Latta Fresca 2021
This vibrant and lively Sangiovese embodies the distinctive qualities associated with Latta: a delightful lightness, succulent juiciness, and an intensity of flavor taken to the highest level. Harvested from organically cultivated vineyards in Shay's Flat, the grapes were carefully picked at an early stage to enhance acidity and preserve the utmost freshness.
Eastern Peake 'Two Mile Hill' Chardonnay 2021
A Chardonnay planted on rich volcanic soils, with the 2021 being the first vintage and getting 97 points from James Suckling straight off the bat! Scents of lemon verbena, butter, mint and white chocolate. Fine and succulent on the palate. The texture also is a bit shuddery, chops and chews with nice grip though. Very refreshing, unique in a way.
Unico Zelo 'Birdwood' Fiano 2022
Aromatically this is lime oil, jasmine & frangipani florals with the quartz-like minerality that you expect from an Adelaide Hills Fiano, but enveloped in spicy, nutty oak. It's texturally beautiful as Fiano should be, with the grapefruit pith, finger lime, and green apple tang that's the centrepiece of the variety from this region, framed well with classic vanilla oak hits. Racy acid brings it all together.
The Hermit Ram Dead Flowers 2022
Dead Flowers is a field blend of Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer from a single vineyard in Waipara. It is a white and red co-ferment - partly on skins and partly direct pressed. It is then aged in a mixture of oak, tank and amphora. Crunchy and fresh with mad florals and spicy Pinot textures. It has taken the spot of the field blend in Theo's offering. A bottle doesn’t last long once cracked!
Kunoh Casablanca 2021
This is all Pinot Noir. The grapes are destemmed, crushed and spend a month on skins. Aged in clay amphora for 9 months. Tart, refreshing style with a faint spritz and crunchiness to texture. Red cherry, sour and preserved, blackcurrant, brambles, sage and bay leaf, some aniseed and a smudge of woodsy-nutty tannins lending a clumpy chew mid palate.
Kindeli Luna Llena 2022
Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Franc fermented and aged in amphora. Aromas of bright cherry, smoky spice, brambly blackberries and green olive characters to sniff on and taste. Succulent. Feels wild and in a great way, rugged, dark and savoury, elemental and serious, feeling very born of earth. And yet, fresh to boot. A wonderful wine.
