Red WineLVDO Mt Torrens Light Dry Red 2025
From the winemaker -
Inspired by Australia's Red Burgundy wines in the 1950s and 1960s, which were based on the "Hermitage" grape with the addition of Grenache, or Pinot Noir, or Dolcetto, etc. and smelled like and drank like a Pinot Noir-based red Burgundy. I wondered what a modern Red Burgundy would look like. Conveniently, in 2022 I started to work with the Burnton Ridge Vineyard (0.6 ha) at 470 m elevation, planted to mainly Syrah, with single rows of Sangiovese, Merlot, Nero d'Avola and a few vines of Viognier. It is on a sand-based soil with abundant sandstone, quartzite and granite.
