It seems only natural for our Artisans who share a Tasting Room to get together and make wines together. The relationships in the Barossa and collective knowledge that our 6 Artisans collectively hold is worth tapping into.
These are the wines that allow them to step outside of their own individual style. These are extraordinary wines representing exceptional value.
These are the wines made by mates for their mates.
Over the last few years, John Lienert has made a small quantity of Rosé largely for home consumption and to sell to a few mates. 2017 was a blessed vintage and produced a great crop of some of the best quality fruit he’d ever seen. Consequently, more Rosé was made and much more than the family could drink!
UTOPOS (pronounced ewe-toe-pos) is a collaboration between Kym and an old mate from the city who was keen to tip his toe into the wine game. Together, they purchased a prime Barossa vineyard and earlier this month quietly launched the first wines from the brilliant 2016 Barossa vintage.
Quantities are extremely limited and we’ve been privileged with a small allocation of three wines that will become instant Barossa classics.
The big gifting tip from the Barossa is that the gift of choice for Valentine’s Day in 2019 is wine! Of course! The perfect (and eminently and conveniently shareable) gift for your significant other half.
What you want to see in good Barossa Rosé is a great balance between refreshment, texture and varietal red fruit expression. The wine is pale salmon in colour, with lifted aromatics of red currant fruits and a slight savoury undertone. Great balance of the key components with a rounded mid-palate and refreshing finish.
Produced for us by Corey Ryan from Sons of Eden, this Riesling is all lemons and limes, soft acidity and immediately pleasurable with a simple slice of sunshine on your shoulders! Enjoy immediately!
The rise and rise of Australian Rosé continues at pace, with the dry, savoury expressions of Artisan Barossa winemakers defining the style and leading the way in the quality stakes.
Each six pack contains 3 bottles of Sons of Eden 2018 Eden Valley Riesling (RRP$30) and 3 bottles of Artisans of Barossa ‘Small Batch’ 2018 Eden Valley Riesling (RRP$25), and is being offered at the extra special price of $109 plus $10 freight anywhere in Australia representing a saving of over 30% off our regular cellar door price
The idea of blending Shiraz from the Eastern and Western extremities of the Barossa make perfectly good sense. The ripe plum, blackberry and white chocolate flavours of the Western Barossa Valley integrate perfectly with the perfumed red fruits, liquorice and spice of the Eastern Eden Valley, coming together to produce a delicious, rich, flavoursome and ultimately beautifully balanced wine.
