by L’Atelier Wines

$205.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Delicate white florals and mineral nuances.

A mineral-driven expression of the site and variety, supported by pithy green-fruit/ grapefruit core and delicate florals. True to form, the age-worthy non- fruit characters of roasted nuts and complex spice complete the bigger picture.

“Bunches were selectively hand-picked over two dates from the Estate Marsanne block, on the fifteenth and nineteenth of February. Whole bunch pressed, cold settled for two days, and racked to 500L puncheon barrels for natural fermentation. Juice was fermented naturally via indigenous yeast at cool temperatures over a period of two months, with some very partial natural MLF occurring throughout this time. The wine was left to mature on gross lees for eight months, then barrel selected before blending and bottling with a loose filtration for polish.”

Description

Warramunda Estate

The philosophy at Warramunda Estate is simple yet absolute – to produce wines which reflect our love for the land and our passion for excellence. The name ‘Warramunda’ – believed to be Aboriginal for ‘tomorrow’ – aligns with our enduring vision of managing a sustainable, productive vineyard. We produce wines which truly reflect the natural expression of the site and provenance of Coldstream in the Yarra Valley.

Covering some sixty-five acres, the vineyard consists of Chardonnay, Viognier, Marsanne, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon plantings. In 2015, we converted 23 rows of Cabernet Sauvignon to include Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, which are blended along with the Cabernet Sauvignon to make our Warramunda Cabernets a Bordeaux style blend.

Purchased in 2007 with a goal to embrace the region’s unique geology, we began our work of planting new, and tending to already established vines, including Chardonnay , Viognier, Marsanne, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot and produced our first Warramunda Estate vintage in 2013.

Having our fingerprints on every stage of the winemaking process is very important to us, so all Warramunda Estate wines are made from exclusively estate grown fruit. The wines are naturally fermented utilizing wild yeasts from the vineyard and no chemicals are used throughout the winemaking process. We adopt methods such as ‘Carbonic Maceration’ which enhances textures, aromas and flavours, with very deliberate treatments of French oak barrels.

L’Atelier Wines

L’Atelier by Aramis Vineyards was founded in 2012, dedicated to supplying a hand-selected range of quality wines to the independent on and off trade. From small beginnings we now operate across NSW, QLD, VIC and WA as well as in our home state of South Australia. Our distribution company was founded on our absolute belief that there was nobody better to represent our McLaren Vale brand than our own team. From that point our mission was clear - to bring together a collection of wine that would complement and match the quality of our own, and to present these to premium retail and hospitality trade across Australia. We believe in working collaboratively with carefully selected producers from Australia and beyond, each sharing the same passion and commitment to quality. Inspired by the Ateliers of 19th century Paris, we see ourselves as a meeting place for highly talented craftspeople at the top of their trade. Our portfolio consists of premium boutique wines from across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and Spain, all carefully selected to represent the very essence of their region, but most importantly at approachable price-points. We do not aim to build a trophy cabinet, we believe that you do not have to spend a fortune to drink like a king, and our selection reflects our ability to seek out wines that consistently over-deliver and represent the very best value.
