About The Wine
From Semillon in the Magnolia vineyard planted in 1941, farmed organically.
Semillon has falled out of favour in the Barossa over the last two decades but it could be seen as a classic regional grape - and it certainly is in the hands of Brett Grocke at Eperosa.
It's in the Hunter mould of crunchy citrus and grapefruit but with more density and succulence in its young life, and a saline, minerally edge. An Energising Barossa white.
About Eperosa
Eperosa is Brett Grocke's heart and soul.
Grocke is a fifth-generation born and raised Barossa viticulturalist/winemaker. Eperosa is the vessel through which he tells the stories of the small patches of the Barossa which he has cared for his whole life. He works with long-established vineyards planted on ancient soils and channels the regional warmth, richness and power of the Barossa with a deft artist's touch.
These wines are honest, robust and made with minimal intervention. A true representation of the modern Barossa with old vines and a rich family heritage as the backdrop.
Grocke's star is on the rise, being named James Halliday's Winemaker of the Year for 2021.

From The Producer
The Magnolia Semillon has a classic thread of characters that show in each vintage. Beautiful lemon, lemon rind and grapefruit aromas are balanced by subtle oyster shell and saline notes giving a line of minerality and vitality to the wine. This release shows a slightly finer array of aromas including sea spray, oyster shell, fresh lemon, lemon rind, honey, mineral salts and almond meal. The palate driven by mouth filling lemon and lemon zest bursts along with a waxy edge that tightens up to a fine sea spray and mineral line then finishing with a saline note. As with the NV Magnolia Blanc, oysters are a must try with this wine.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
