2023 The Other Right Stay Mellow
WINEMAKER: Alex Schulkin & Galit Schachaf
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Semillon
VITICULTURE: Organic
"Skin-contact Sémillon, 2 weeks on skins, then old French barrels for 9 months élevage, rested in the bottle for another 6 months, and now ready for the world. Tight, takes a few seconds to open up, then thrives into quince, crème fraiche, slight oaky tones (despite the barrels being over 10 years old), obligatory white flowers and lemon rind. Salivary glands might get a workout. Sadly, last Sémillon from us for now!" - Alex & Galit
Alex Schulkin and his wife Galit make pristine zero-zero wine in Adelaide Hills. Alex is also a researcher at the Australian Wine Research Institute in his day job. Makes sense.
