About The Wine
As a rule of thumb, Italian white varieties are so much more about texture than they are about 'fruitiness', which is why they fit the bill for Tim Sproal's winemaking so well.
Here he combines the mouth filling, waxy savoury components of the Fiano grape with the zippy and spicy characteristics of Vermentino to make a fresh but textural white wine perfect for quaffing on its own or tackling a wide array of food.
There's very little done to this in the winemaking. It's about letting this great Heathcote fruit express itself naturally. The wine is downright delightful.
About Minim
Minim Wines is the love-child of Tim Sproal, a labour of love that started with just one tonne of Shiraz and a milk vat in a mate's garage.
Tim sources small parcels of fruit from Central Victorian vineyards that farm with care. The wines are all about texture and energy, Tim's less-is-more winemaking approach bringing a great feel to the Minim range.
These are clean and energetic natural wines with loads of personality.
From the Producer
Patsy is made for summer; fresh crunchy acid and good time tropical fruit, subtle white pepper and texture born from extended time on lees and a short soak on skins prior to ferment. All in stainless steel, a few days on skins, all native yeasts, very little oxygen and a small addition of sulphur prior to bottling.
Patsy is savoury, lean, crisp and textural - something to share with friends on hot days and have a good time. Not for inspiring endless critique and considered evaluation…just a nice summer drink when you need it most. Drink next to the single site barrel fermented varietal release to explore the stark difference in expression of this wonderful grape that is so happy in Central Victoria sites.
Serving suggestion: you and hot weather

Critic Reviews
It's right on the money. That waxy Fiano thing in the palate countered by great tight acidity. Clean and mineral charged through the mouth, with apple and pear flavours mingling amongst some spicy savoury elements. Juicy clean and succulent. Yum. Lots of personality. - Different Drop Wine Team

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. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
