Songs From Mars - Black Sallad 2021
Region: Barossa
Grapes: Viognier
Beautifully textured and energetic Viognier sourced from Steinborner Vineyard, Vine Vale. A brief period of skin contact adds just a touch phenolic grip which really makes this wine come alive.
THE PRODUCER
New 2020 release from Californian Winemaker Matthew Rorick, whom since 2017 has been travelling to the Barossa to craft small batches of interesting wines from interesting fruit, sourced from both Barossa and the surrounding area.
Matthew's love for unloved and obscure varieties, combined with his stripped-back, bare-knuckle winemaking style have seen his small batches develop a feverish cult following in the US of A. His expertise and intuition make for a refreshing take on the characteristic styles of Barossa and the Hills.
