2021 Sven Joschke O'Babis Mataro
Description
WINEMAKER: Sven Joschke
REGION: Barossa Valley, SA
VARIETAL: Mataro
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
Cant finish on a white they say. A surprise last min addition to the SJ Wine portfolio. Handpicked slightly riper from the flats of Barossa Valley, desteamed and naturally fermented on whole berries. Once dry, sealed up with the cap worked a little to extract those little goodies. 30 days on skins, gently pressed to neutral French oak hogheads with new oak heads. Bottled unfined and unfiltered after 12 months.
"Spending the last 15 years abroad and interstate, Sven decided to ditch his life as a Chartered Accountant and come back home to South Australia. Swapping the Casio and spreadsheets for his ultimate calling of wine (originally working under Peter Schell at Spinifex and Jason Schwarz Schwarz Wine Co, as well as some time in Jura), at least he can now claim market research when enjoying some plonk!"

SPÖN Bottle Shop & Wine Bar: Made for Discovery

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.
