Description
David Bowley created Vinteloper in 2008 and spent a decade sourcing grapes across South Australia and further afield while renting cellar space and popping up in temporary urban wineries in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney (the legendary Urban Winery Project). Firmly established as one of the country’s leading young lights, a two-time winner of the prestigious Pinot Palooza festival, in 2018 finally Vinteloper found a home of its own in Cudlee Creek, only for the vineyard to be decimated in the December 2019 bushfires. The rebuild has already begun and David and his team including winemaker Alyson Tannenbaum – shortlisted for the 2020 Young Gun of Wine – are determined to return better than ever.
Harvested early, the grapes are wildly fermented and left in contact with skins for 2 weeks. Matured is old oak barrels for 3 months then bottled un-fined and un-filtered. Unusual gold colour with a hint of orange due to the skin contact. An aromatic bright and lively wine with aromas of orange zest, apricot and a hint of turkish delight. Flavours of lychee and citrus with a hint of oak and a crisp acidity on the finish.
A great accompaniment to Asian Cuisine.
