Description
WINEMAKER: Steve Crawford
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Malvasia Istriana, Malvasia Bianca, Vermentino
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
Morbinos -> crazy (in a lively and fun sense) in Friulano direct of Italian. Picked during the lock downs at Parish Hill, Adelaide Hills Malvasia Istriana - 46% Malvasia Bianca - 39% Vermentino - 15% On skins for 4-5 days. Pressed to older oak, left undisturbed for 9 months. 1 month in stainless prior to bottling.
Idea is to be textural and accentuate the fruit characters of the Malvasia without venturing into orange / dried out territory. Passionfruit, green mango, exotic spices, scotch finger biscuits (buttery dough), lemon curd, nougat & citrus oil. Oily upfront, into sweeter fruit, w spiced tannin and fresh / race acid. Textural w a nice long finish. Malvasia Bianca brings the racey acid and sweet tropical fruit spectrum. A loud guy at the party. Malvasia Istriana is a bit more of a wall flower, takes a fair bit longer to get to know, but is interesting and layered.
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.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
