2021 The Other Right Fawn

WINEMAKER: Alex Schulkin & Galit Schachaf
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETAL: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Organic

Picked pretty early, it’s all zingy limes and texture. Kind-hearted and generous. This year’s Fawn emotion is comfort and cosiness. And if you throw a mushroom risotto in the mix, it will make your troubles seem far away. Literally. Can we already admit that Chardonnay is the leader of the free world of grapes? | For over two months now Ukraine has been under siege. The invasion has displaced millions of civilians from their homes with many other who face immense, immediate danger. 10% of Fawn proceeds will be donated to UNHCR who support safe access, critical protection services, and humanitarian assistance for refugees and third-country nationals fleeing from Ukraine.

Russian-born winemaker Alex Schulkin and his wife Galit make pristine zero-zero wine in Adelaide Hills. Alex is also a researcher at the Australian Wine Research Institute in his day job. Makes sense. Pure, precise, an absolute joy to drink.
