Atipico Sundial 2024
$39.90 inc. GST
Tasting Note: Aromas of orange blossom, chamomile, and Nana’s freshly baked apple crumble. Tastes of lightly toasted citrus, fleshy white nectarine with a hint of parmigiano rind – all interwoven with a vibrant acidity and a lengthy refreshing finish. The wine tips its hat to many influences, with a tongue in cheek one line descriptor of ‘Alsace meets Chablis.’
Winemaking Notes: Field blend of 39% Pinot Blanc, 26% Grüner Veltliner, 24% Riesling, 11% Pinot Gris. Handpicked by friends and family on the 10th and 11th of March. After an enthusiastic foot stomp, the fruit was pressed directly into neutral barrels, before being transported back out to the vineyard block, under the autumnal branches of the plum tree. A vigorous wild fermentation began a few days later, influenced by the ambient temperatures, environment and season. Each day, a visit with coffee in hand. A daily sensory connection with the ferment in the vineyard. Tactile moments, observing the ferment temperature influenced by the sunshine, weather and time of day. A true transformation of juice into wine vinsitu – to be vinified in place. After 25 days in the vineyard the wine was moved a few hundred metres to the winery to settle in for autumn and winter. It was aged undisturbed on full lees for 6 months before being racked with a small 40ppm addition of sulphur dioxide. Bottled unfined and unfiltered in September 2024. A naturally occurring sediment is expected. Chill bottle upright prior to enjoying.
