2022 Les & Sez Somersault

WINEMAKER: Tim Stock & Sarah Feehan
REGION: Barossa Valley, SA
VARIETAL: Grenache
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

This wine had us spinning from the start. 100% Whole bunch Grenache left to its own Carbonic devices for as long as possible. Basket pressed directly to one old barrique.

Hazy, cherry red. Pomelo, ripe plum, cherries and purple fig. Baking spice plus a highertoned element lurking. The 100% whole bunch is perfectly integrated providing soft, rounded tannins and underlying freshness. Wild berries and spiced plums. Displays lovely purity despite sitting on the funkier side of the fence.

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.
