2020 Amato Vino Space Girls

Amato Vino was established in 2003 by Brad Wehr, exploring traditional Margaret River varietals alongside the more alternative with a truly hands-off approach. Brad works with independent growers who share his philosophy, employing organic and sustainable farming practices producing honest wines of place & purpose.

"You get a real maritime feel when you smell good Savagnin – all coastal heath and salty seaside air. The hand-picked fruit was held on skins for four hours before pressing to aged French barriques to begin wild fermentation. The wine remained on lees for 6 months prior to bottling in September, unfined, unfiltered.

Salty, briny, misty, floral, magical. This smells of a springtime coast, wildflower aromas, sagebush, smokebush, and then you get the lemony citrus filtering through. Limey lanolin in the mouth – yes, its creamy but the tight minerally acidity speaks of fresh lime juice in a gin & tonic. At once savoury and sweet: kiwifruit, finger lime, lemon curd."
