THE WINES
Handpicked fruit is basked pressed and raised in stainless steel with lees stirring to build texture. A meagre 953 bottles produced from this vintage.
An ultra-attractive nose, forest floor and graphite under bright forest berries and rhubarb compote, a prosciutto/charcuterie note lurking there too. Beautifully bright to drink led by cranberries, a twist of amaro, sweet spices and rosewater, around perky acidity and fine vibrant crunchy tannins. An easy wine to love for fans of Pinot Noir, though its red fruits give it enough distinction. Lovely purity and personality in this release, crisp and lucid.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Biodynamic Minimal Intervention Wines From A Beautiful Adelaide Hills Estate
Owner Damon Nagel started life as a sommelier in Adelaide, moving to London to further his wine education whilst working in top end dining restaurants. Achieving success in London property, he would eventually return to Adelaide, purchasing the beautiful undulating Brackenwood farm in the early 2000s, first releasing wines from vintage 2005.
Winemaking is today overseen by Daniel Zuzolo, ex Primo Estate, with the stable offering interesting blends and lesser seen plantings of Barbera and Gamay alongside more traditional offerings such as Shiraz and Riesling.
Growing and winemaking is strictly along biodynamic lines, with no additions bar minimal sulphur at bottling. A pure set of releases very much at home alongside Felixir’s European offerings, fun styles of personality with enough depth and interest to be taken seriously.
