Wine Description
The fruit for this wine was grown at the Hill Smith Vineyard at Woodside in the Adelaide Hills. Our approach was to celebrate this special parcel of fruit, not force it into a preconceived style. Pale straw in colour, this wine opens with lifted aromas of white peach, quince, lemon, and grapefruit, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and oak spice. The palate is refined and elegant offering flavours of white peach and citrus zest balanced by creamy lees texture, fine acidity and smoky, nutty oak complexity. The finish is crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced.
Winemaker's Bio
As Winemaker Adam Barton tells it, he first discovered the magic of wine while working in the Hunter Valley, in a glass of 1965 Lindemans Hunter River Burgundy. After studying Oenology at the University of Adelaide, he embarked on a winemaking career that so far spans two decades and three continents, with work in McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, the Barossa Valley, Western Australia, the south of France and California’s Central Coast.
Adam’s winemaking approach for Atlas Wines is typified by careful curation and nurturing of the highest-quality grapes, the utmost care and attention to detail, and minimal intervention.
