Description

We love the way Andrew (AJ) Hoadley thinks about wine.

The guy's creativity is so refreshing, he is almost pathologically incapable of making a 'conventional' wine, and for that, we salute him. This newest creation is the Nova Syrova, a delicious funky blend with a big whack of whole bunches included.

It's all about freshness and flavour for AJ - his wine begs to be drunk as soon as it arrives.

A medium bodied red with interest and immediate impact.

93 Points - "Super just pushes itself in front of nova. There’s lightness to this Syrova, it’s driven by sour-edged red fruit, green olive crunch, potpourri, bitter herbs, flint and wet leaves. This is a wine on a par with Pinot Noir. Ah! But there’s more to it. Depth, character. Light, sour, savoury, fragrant red. Not far from the Amaro family either. Fantastic combo of flavours in a lovely idiosyncratic expression. Super Nova Syrova." - Kasia Sobiesiak (The Wine Front)

The wine has a number of different elements, with a lot of whole bunches involved. Whole bunch Pinot Noir left on skins to start wild ferment, before draining off to old oak; whole bunch carbonic Syrah and Garnatxa parcels pressed off to finish ferment in old barriques, and a splash of skin contact Vermentino. The wine is unfined. Sulphur dioxide is added just before 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.
