Description

The Ü Röck Döts is a wine with a serious cult following.

This is dry grown Gewurztraminer and Riesling with a splash of Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder in German) fermented together in old wood. A marrying of textural interest and flamboyant aromatics from these varieties, with a little residual sugar, make this a deliciously wild wine that is very compelling to drink.

It's not your average Riesling blend. It's not your average 'aromatic blend'.

It's its own beast and it seriously rocks to drink.

Sourced mainly from 30 year old, dry grown Gewürztraminer vines near Mt Barker, with the intention of making a barrel fermented sibling for Das Sakrileg riesling. Hand picked and long, slow, whole bunch pressed, juice went straight to old oak with no SO2, settled overnight without chilling, then was racked into 4th use Vosges barrels the next day, retaining some juice solids.
I find this oxidative treatment provides a natural fining of the juice, enhancing the texture and removing the need for later fining additives. Co-fermented with Mt Barker Riesling (to achieve natural acid balance) and a little Grauburgunder, the wine remained on lees for 9 months before filtration and bottling.

La Violetta

Few winemakers bring as much creativity and flair to their label as the mercurial Andrew Hoadley.

With a mischievous, child-like joy, he has set about crafting La Violetta, one of the most fascinating wine ranges in Western Australia, and indeed, the country.

His wines are inspiring, each a creation all of its own. With a mix of single vineyard, single varietal wines and some exotic blends, these are some of the most thought-provoking wines in the West.
