Wine Description
Sourced from a single vineyard in cooler area of Eden Valley, Barossa. Grown on ancient podzolic soil with a low fertility. The wine has a pale straw colour with aromas of freshly cut nashi pear and apple. Made in the French Alsace style it is a blend of 20% malolactic fermented wine and 20% new French oak barrels. This results in plush and juicy flavours with an elegant, soft, dry finish. Extended aging in barrel on yeast lees and bottle age before release, integrates the unique characters the result is a complex wine. A vegan wine friendly wine.
Winemaker's Bio
Barossa born multi trophy winning winemaker Joanne Irvine is a highly sought after, small batch wine making specialist. Jo left home to pursue a career spanning 18 years as a nurse until she had what she describes as a “mid- life crisis” and became a winemaker.
Creating wines since 1993, including vintages in Sonoma and Napa USA, Jo could never have guessed that at age 7, while following her winemaking father around a winery, she would have started a successful wine consulting company in 2003 and created her own dynamic wine brand in 2014, Levrier by Jo Irvine.
