Alpha Box & Dice, Golden Delicioso 2021

This wine is made from 100% Semillon from Magpie Springs Vineyard, Hope Forest (Adelaide Hills). Unknown clone planted on own roots in the late 1990s.

Whilst not certified organic, it is practicing organic viticulture. As this is an ‘orange wine’ (no oranges were hurt in winemaking process!) – it has wild fermentation on its skins for 10 days, and then transferred to old large, oak barrels for 12 months ageing prior to bottling. Roasted nuts, spiced peaches, dried grass on the nose. The palate is oily, viscous, spicy, luscious, textured and chewy. Like caressing a crushed velvet couch in an apricot grove! 13.5% vol.
