2021 Frederick Stevenson Bianco

VARIETAL: Vermentino, Cortese
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VITICULTURE: Organic
WINEMAKER: Steve Crawford

"Processed seperately - both a couple days on skins and then press n fermented in tank. Textural, food friendly Ligurian style white wine is the brief…. Lemon pith, sea pray, hay and meadow flowers over the nose with a nectarine, apricot n tonic hints in the background.

The palate has a fuller, oilier texture up front which then grabs a little on the tongue from light / tight phenolics then lingers on out to a nice acid line to close. Lemon pith, sea spray, tonic n hay. Ocean view preferable."

Steve Crawford started his Barossa label under the pseudonym of Frederick Stevenson whilst working at a larger winery. One of the nicest guys in wine that continues to impress each and every year.
