Smallfry Schliebs Garden 2017 (6 Bottles) Barossa Valley

$198.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Of all of the styles we produce this wine is in my mind the old school hero. Inspired by the diverse wines of the Rhone and born of the same lineage that brought these varieties to Terra Australis. Anticipating that you will see in this blend the lightness, depth and poise that I hope will come to be recognized as typical of biodynamic practise. Named in honour of Ken Schliebs’ intractable will to resist the winds of change, we just wouldn’t have the diversity and age of vineyard if he hadn’t. Estate grown does make a difference. Vegan friendly

Colour: Red purple medium weight. Brown on the rim as an indication of maturity.

Aroma: Plum and Tar with Christmas pudding with a woody spice background.

Description

About Smallfry

Wayne Ahrens and Suzi Hilder are the custodians of some exceedingly fine vineyards. Both from grape growing families of long standing they planted a vineyard in the Eden Valley and purchased a beautiful block of ancient vines in the Barossa Valley sub-region of Vine Vale. With patience, intelligence and sheer graft these vines are now producing grapes sought after by some of the best winemakers in Australia. A commitment to sustainable practises and certification as Biodynamic producers both in the vineyard and winery is further proof of the dedication to quality.

The excellence of the Smallfry wines is a reflection of the dedication in the vineyard. The wines are very much hand-made, non-interventionist styles with no additives and only older oak used. They showcase the regional Barossa styles in a modern, fruit focussed vein. A five star producer and “one to watch” in James Halliday’s Wine Companion Smallfry is a winery most definitely on the rise.
