Ever since moving to the Barossa I have been fascinated by the new blood making awesome wines in their sheds and, in some cases, under the noses of their employers. The days of making wine under a false name seem to be gone and a culture of creativity and collaboration is rising up in what I always thought was a strictly ‘old school’ wine region.
Our Emerging Talent tour will excite you with new wine styles, lateral winemaking and different takes on fruit source and terroir. There is some serious innovation happening that’s centred around minimal intervention, wild yeast creations and the occasional ‘let it ride’ method.
I have bugged these guys into letting me bring you into their world – often where there’s only a small amount of vino to share between themselves and a few lovestruck Somms in the big smoke.
