2023 Poppelvej Rå Greco

WINEMAKER: Uffe Deichmann
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Greco
VITICULTURE: Organic

Sourced from the Lot13 Vineyard in McLaren Vale, from 33 year old vines planted in a combination of brown, sandy loam over clay. Certified organic as of 2022.

100% Greco was handpicked - a portion of the fruit was grown in the shaded side of the 0.5 acre vineyard & was direct pressed to old oak. Whereas the sunny side of the vineyard was handpicked & hand-destemmed spending 9 days on skins & then pressed to neutral barriques. Matured on gross lees for 8 months before the wines were blended in tank to settle for 2 months prior to bottling. Unfined & unfiltered.

Grilled peaches & yellow nectarine, crabapple, candied ginger & walnuts. Orange rind, sweet vermouth & aperol. Well balanced in focus and feel. This is undeniably a gastronomic orange wine, sure to impress with anything cooked over coals and/or flame. Grab the Hibachi!

Pronounced "pop-el-vei", vej is the Danish word for street and poppel træ is Danish for poplar tree. Poppelvej is the street of poplars, named after the street in Denmark where sommelier-turned-winemaker Uffe grew up.
