Wine Description
This wine was made with fruit hand-picked from 80-year-old bush vines that grow in terra rossa soil over limestone at a unique site in Leasingham. It’s bright ruby red in the glass, and displays lifted aromatics of strawberry, violets and cinnamon, with an underlying hint of Provençal herbs. The palate is mid weight and juicy with flavours of plush cherry and berry fruits, soft rounded tannins and a lingering savoury finish.
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.
