Feeling adventurous? Keep reading. This one’s not for the faint hearted. Whole bunch fermentation and a wild imagination mean this Semillon, Riesling, Pinot Blanc & White Frontignac blend is enough to make a purist weak. But at Wine Brothers, purists we ain’t. We lap this stuff up. Fruit driven and complex, this one opens up best after a few days. Untouched, no additions or preservatives so ready to drink now. Unreal.

Wine smarts have run in the Pfeiffer family for four generations. Great-grandfather Albert worked his South Australia vines in barefoot, father worked with Penfolds for nearly thirty years, including overseeing the Grange vineyards viticulture, before first planting vines in the Barossa Valley in 1994. Now Josh leads the latest generation’s organic approach by dodging out, hilling back on and harvesting the fruit at optimum ripeness during the cool of the night. With solid grounding in the past but a passionate eye on the future, when these guys talk, we’re all ears.

FROM THE WINEMAKER

"The gentle extraction of phenolic molecules (tannins, aroma and colour) occurs by treating these white grapes like a red wine which in this case meant 10 days on skins. It brings complexity and mouthfeel that is both enticing and refreshing by bringing the gentle acidity to the forefront. This wine spent 5 months in neutral oak. Enjoy this wine chilled but not ice cold as it’ll hide all the flavors and aromas, we worked so hard to achieve."

FOOD MATCHING

A wine like this has a story to tell, so get your friends around you for a sharing style feast. Fish or veggie options are no-brainers.
