2022 Les & Sez Bien Sur!
Description
WINEMAKER: Tim Stock & Sarah Feehan
REGION: Adelaide Hills/Barossa Valley, SA
VARIETAL: Chardonnay, Grenache
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
A sure thing from the start. Both varieties were hand destemmed into an old, upended puncheon until we got sick of it and chucked in the rest of the Grenache as whole bunches. No ‘management’ other than pushing the cap down now and then once it rose, basket pressed to one precious barrique.
A cherry red treasure chest full of old rubies. The 'ye olde' feels persist with the delicate notes of rhubarb, watermelon juice, wild red plums, sour cherry, cinnamon and star anise.. . Fine, furry, cranberry skin tannins land it in the red wine camp but an underlying lightness feels white and the fully textured mid palate is all Chardonnay. Expect more plum and red berry fruits along with a watermelon tang and pomegranate juice to the finish. Those tannins are surprisingly persistent.
Late nights, sticky ferments and copious bottles are responsible for this love story. Les (Tim Stock from Les Fruits) and Sez (Sarah Feehan from Parley) took time out from their own projects to make three little barrels of wine. Hand picked, hand de-stemmed, basket pressed and barrel fermented, the wine was an experiment in doing as little as possible to create a wild and unadulterated expression of fruit.

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.
