Catlin Wines X Yolk Pinot Blanc (12 Bottles) Adelaide Hills

$344.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Lemon and some candied lime on the nose with beautifully balanced acid structure.

Pinot Blanc is a relative newcomer to the Adelaide Hills, but it is a variety well suited to its climate. This single vineyard, hand picked wine was allowed to naturally ferment on skins to extract flavour. A slow ferment and extended barrel maturation has resulted in a textural wine with beautifully balanced acid structure and subtle notes of lemon rind on the palate. Discover the new kid on the block.

Patrick Eckel: 92 of understated

“A light yellow in the glass with lemon and some candied lime on the nose. The palate works against a backdrop of understated grapefruit and meyer lemon that when combined with chalky acidity gives good mouthfeel. The finish is bone dry and bristling with citrus fruits.”

About Catlin Wines

Catlin Wines was founded in 2013 by winemaker Darryl Catlin, fulfilling a long held dream of making his own wine. Growing up in the Barossa Valley, Darryl picked bush vine Grenache in his parents’ vineyard for pocket money, which set the scene for a lifelong obsession with the wine industry. Various stints in wine retail fuelled the passion and led to eventual study in winemaking. Honing his skills over more than a decade at Shaw and Smith, Darryl developed an intricate knowledge of the Adelaide Hills wine region, and is now putting that to good use in creating his own unique style of wines.

In just a few short years, Catlin Wines has already established a strong reputation for high quality wines, with a number of trophies, medals and high ratings from well-respected wine writers. James Halliday named Catlin Wines as one of the “Top 10 Best New Wineries” in his 2016 Wine Companion

Catlin Wines started with just 4 varieties that first vintage, and has steadily increased its portfolio since then. Grapes are sourced from premium vineyards around the Adelaide Hills, as well as some small parcels from the Clare Valley. The wines are gently processed at the Winery in Nairne. With a preference for wild ferments and minimal intervention, each wine becomes an expression of the local terroir – the best representation of what can be achieved from that individual, selected vineyard.
