2021 Poppelvej Øst

WINEMAKER: Uffe Deichmann
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETAL: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Organic

Sourced from the K1 Vineyard in Kuitpo, in the southern part of the Adelaide Hills where warm days are mitigated by the Fleurieu Peninsula. Organically farmed, though not certified. Handpicked Riesling, foot stomped & gently hand plunged for wild fermentation on skins. After 23 days total maceration, the resulting wine was pressed to old 600L oak puncheons for 10 month maturation on lees. Bottled by hand, unfined & unfiltered.

Pronounced "pop-el-vei", vej is the Danish word for street and poppel træ is Danish for poplar tree. Poppelvej is the street of poplars, named after the street in Denmark where sommelier-turned-winemaker Uffe grew up.
