Shobbrook 'Giallo' Bianco 2022
The Wine
Primarily Semillon, complemented by a touch of Riesling and Muscat à Petits Grains. The fruit, cultivated in Barossa, underwent whole bunch pressing and stainless-steel fermentation, before transfer to 500-litre casks to develop. Intriguing, texturally delicious and a touch naughty!
A very stable wine that can be drunk over a few days - also matches well with spicy dishes!
No Sulphites added

About the Wine Maker
After 12 years of growing grapes and making wines on our farm in Seppeltsfield things have come to an end. We now have 2 hectares of vines in Flaxman Valley... We will eventually end up with around 5 hectares of vines and a mixed orchard of fruit and nut trees. The Farm sits at 540 meters above the ocean.
The soils are old and acidic consisting of sandy loam over yellow orange clay. The sandy loam profile is scattered with rose quartz while the clay layers have shadows of mica. The wines should be lean and tight, holding fine acidity. This next journey will be an exciting ride. For now, we will continue to make a small amount of wine from some old vineyards in Vine Vale.
