THE WINES
50% Grenache, 40% Cinsault and 10% Syrah, fermented in concrete eggs and aged in concrete tanks. Côtes de Provence.
Aromas of purple flowers, lavender, garrigue (though far less than in typical Provence reds), olive tapenade.
The palate has plenty of fruit presence – blackberry, black plums, black cherries, squeaky clean, with fine, ripe and fresh tannins giving just enough depth to balance an easy-drinking feel with something more serious. Shares a similarly playful, mid-weight vibe with a Loire Cab Franc, contemplative or guzzlable depending on mood.

Additional Information 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.
