2024 The Other Right Love Potion
WINEMAKER: Alex Schulkin & Galit Schachaf
REGION: McLaren Vale, SA
VARIETY: Shiraz
VITICULTURE: Organic
"This year’s theme – love in the uniting sense. Not just your family of neighbours, but humans as a whole. Those you don’t know, or those you disagree with. Enough with the division, it only serves the bad guys. This time, Love Potion turned out to be the juiciest of them all. Whole bunch character delivers a wine that is broody, ripe, dark fruit, chocolate, cedar and black pepper. A touch of Grenache that grows across the vineyard adds an element of blue fruit to it, without detracting from the concentration. Definitely have it chilled." - 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.
