Description
WINEMAKER: Alicia Basa & Mark Warner
REGION: Mount Compass, SA
VARIETAL: Chardonnay, Savagnin
VITICULTURE: Organic
Around an 80/20 split in favour of Chardonnay. All direct pressed and barrel fermented in 500L barrels. Somewhat more weight and power than previous iterations, all kept in check by Savagnin’s amazing acidity. Lime splice, with a generous long and quenching palate. We like this, a lot. (This wine used to be called ‘Battered Sav’, but we’ve had enough of people assuming it was Sav Blanc… hence the wildly creative name.)
'Borachio - a skin for holding wine, commonly a goat's, or a drunkard.' Previously working with James Erskine at Jauma, Alicia and Mark make wine in Carey Gully with fruit sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Mount Compass and Mount Torrens.

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.
