Description
WINEMAKER: Julie Balagny
REGION: Beaujolais, FR
VARIETAL: Gamay
VITICULTURE: Organic
This is a combination of fruit from all three Fleurie parcels. The vines are aged between 40-105 years. The soils are granite, basalt and quartz. The grapes are cooled for 24 hours and then undergo three weeks of carbonic maceration. Zero additions. The wine was then raised in used barrels for 10 months. Not fined or filtered, and no added SO2 at any stage.
A gentle reduction, which Julie says will help protect the wine as it ages. And if you are to age any of the 2021's, this is the one. Opens up relatively quickly with a bit of air. Strawberry and roses start to emerge with time in the glass. Fine and linear palate, with lots of strawberry fruit. There is a lovely gentle tart aspect which is quite refreshing. Light and dreamy, but with surprising mid palate depth (not weight). Salty too. Good tension and fine tannins on the finish. Another stunner!" - Ryan Larkin

SPÖN PICKS
SPÖN Bottle Shop & Wine Bar: Made for Discovery
A 50-seater wine bar; Inspired by the charming, drink-in bottle shops hidden throughout the cobblestone streets of Europe, explore a rotating world of natural, organic, rare & vintage wines, and craft beers sourced from Australia and across the globe.
Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
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.
