2022 Aristotelis Ke Anthoula Blood Orange
Description
WINEMAKER: Tony Zafirakos & Maddie Park-Neilson
REGION: South Pambula, NSW
VARIETAL: Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon
VITICULTURE: Organic
Blood Orange takes the principles of lengthy maceration time explored in white varieties by Mandarin, and applies it to a lengthy red/white coferment. All fruit was hand sorted and destemmed into stainless steel tanks, then gently basket pressed in late winter to neutral barrels where it rested until bottling just before vintage 2023.
The result is a wine with a colour nothing short of spectacular, wild aromas of spiced cherries and a lovely blood orange bitterness to the finish. Super unique and super delicious!
Aristotelis Ke Anthoula started as a family pastime. Having migrated from rural greece in the early 80s, Aristotelis and Anthoula longed for the feeling of home so they started making their own wine in a garage in the beachside suburbs of Sydney. From the beginning, all their wines were made entirely by hand (and foot) using only grapes, with no additives, no filtration or fining and no pumps or machinery.
All fruit is hand harvested and farmed with care. Our wines are still crafted from grapes alone with the aid of very little machinery. They are carefully made by hand and laboriously fussed over to extract maximum flavour and ensure they are high quality and stable. Natural, wild yeasts are used for fermentation, and there are no chemicals or preservatives added at any time. All of our wines are unfiltered and unfined and to this day we have never added (nor had a need for adding) any sulphur to our wines.
