Description

Few think outside the Barossa box like Dave 'Yetti' Geyer.

He sees potential in those unwanted odd-ball varieties of the region and takes them into uncharted territory. For this wine, it's Chenin Blanc with a wild streak.

This fruit comes from an organic farmed Vine Vale vineyard, with old Chenin Blanc vines yielding tiny amounts of uber-concentrated fruit. Dave nurses them into the winery, lets them hang out on skins for a day, then presses it off with no sulphur added whatsoever.

Full of juicy, yellow fruits, yet saline and savoury through the finish. Interest plus plus, and perfect for sipping in the sun.

    Great orange wine

    An easy drinking orange- great for a park wine! Would definitely recommend.

From a small plot found in the Vine Vale subregion of the Barossa. Originally planted in 2010 as larger wineries were playing around with 'experimental' varieties. Only 6 E to W rows planted. Soils are typical free, deep draining Vine Vale alluvial sands. Viticulture is organic though not certified.

Hand-harvested early in the day and split into two portions. The first left as whole bunches for carbonic maceration, going through primary and secondary over a 3-week period in sealed tank. Subsequently this portion was foot stomped and pneumatically pressed to old French hogsheads for 6 months. The second portion was destemmed and left on skins for one day before being pressed to old French hogsheads for fermentation, being topped up regularly. Blended and bottled with no fining, filtration or sulphur added.
