Description

If you are on the hunt for 'classic' Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, then you might want to keep on moving.

There is nothing classic about Anton Van Klopper's take on this variety. It's a wild wine made from free-run juice pressed from whole bunches. The juice ferments inside old oak barrels where plenty of oxygen is allowed contact with the juice. This is an orange, natural wine from the Basket Range and it's a bunch of fun to drink.

Feeling freaky? Check this out with an open mind.

The Farm: Robert Surmann's vineyard in Totness with 25 y/o sauvignon blanc grown on Black Sandy soil overlying petrified schist, it is V.S.P. Trained and spur pruned.

How the wine was made: The fruit is destemmed sauvignon blanc, left to soak and start ferment on berries for one weeks. This helps the perfumed notes in the wine. It's then pressed and fermented and aged in 680L vitrified ceramic eggs. At bottling the wine is blended with barrel fermented pressings of pinot gris and pinot blanc

Notes: The wine is slightly cloudy golden colour. A perfume of the richness of rose scented bath salts warmed by
beeswax candles flickering gently, lucid fluidity coats and angel dust exploding gently over your tongue.
