Description:
Andrew Cummins crafts wonderful expressions of Barossa varieties, channeling his love of the region’s history into delicious, varietal and very well-made bottlings made with fruit from a handful of excellent organic vineyards.
This is semillon from an 85 year old vineyard in Vine Vale, which spent 18 months in barrel prior to release. Pale gold in the glass, there is an immediate notion of lightly oxidative handling, with layers of aromatic richness resting upon the restrained tropical fruit. There’s subtle creamy lees influence, with some light grassiness on the back-palate lending refreshment, and with great balance between fresh fruit character and more savoury nuance from the time in barrel.
This is very well-made and we recommend it highly.
