2023 Eleven Sons Carafage Conseillé
WINEMAKER: Mitchell Sokolin
REGION: Limestone Coast, SA
VARIETY: Syrah
VITICULTURE: Organic
Robe, SA. Syrah from the Beach. A northeast facing vineyard planted on the last undulations of the woakwine range. Underfoot we find beach sand over the limestone and it smells like low tide. You know the ocean is close but you’re not sure exactly which direction. Whole Bunches macerated carbonically over two weeks, crushed and later pressed into fibreglass. Blackberries, Brine and Algae. Bottled without SO2. Decanting recommended, never required!
Eleven Sons is Mitch Sokolin, ex-Michelin sommelier and winemaker extraordinaire, making wines from select vineyards across Australia’s beautiful but unappreciated Limestone Coast, stretching from Mount Gambier to Robe.
