Hahndorf Hill 2022 Brother Nature Field Blend

The team at Hahndorf Hills in the Adelaide Hills has built a formidable reputation for the quality of its varietal wines made from Austrian grapes including gruner veltliner and Saint-laurent. This is the first release of a pretty off-the-wall blend - but it works a treat. Inspired by the Gemischter Satz blended wines of Austria, this is a field blend where the sum is more than the parts. The fruit is co-harvested by hand, and then co-fermented in the winery. Brother Nature's 12 varieties include the standard white varieties commonly found in a Gemischter Satz: pinot blanc, welschriesling, gruner veltliner, riesling, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, gewurztraminer, savagnin and muscat blanc, with the addition of harslevelu , chenin blanc and muscadelle. The end result is a bright and shiny white with deliciously crisp acidity. Think lime juice, Granny Smith apple and river pebble notes that is is extremely versatile and food friendly. Pair with shellfish, a little spice, or sashimi and sushi. Deliciously different. $39. https://www.hahndorfhillwinery.com.au/
