2022 Tidy Town Bin Chicken
WINEMAKER: Alex Croker & Rob Lundberg
REGION: Pyrenees, VIC
VARIETAL: Semillon
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
Machine harvested from the Blue Pyrenees Estate vineyard in the Pyrenees, Western VIC. Mature Semillon vines in a continental climate grown on a well-draining site with gravel, sandstone at depth with reddish-brown, sandy loam over a sandy, clay loam subsoil.
"Picked for brighter acid and fruit character before being pressed to wild ferment in barrel. Wine completes malo and a barrel is left ullaged to develop more nutty/pear aromatics to build complexity in the blend. This is a textural wine seeking to challenge the Australian perception of Semillon. It is named after the Ibis as it is also much malligned as a grape" - Alex Croker
Little Brunswick Wine Co. is the culmination of Alex Croker and Rob Lundberg’s efforts to turn a small tax return, and several hundred buckets of grapes into a winery within the tiny five-foot cellar underneath Alex’s house in Brunswick East. The 'Tidy Town' range focuses on alternative varietals or winemaking styles from fruit sources across Central & Western Victoria. Value & drinkability in spades, these are truly party wines for party people without any compromise on vibrancy, detail or intrigue.
