2017 ARTIS ADELAIDE HILLS SINGLE VINEYARD GRUNER VELTLINER

RRP $37 / 2032

Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented in used French oak, matured for 6 months. You can see in the instant you taste this why gruner veltliner should be so long-lived, and also see its affinity with fermentation in used French oak. White pepper is there, as is citrus zest and apple skin, and the acidity will take it though many years. 13.4% alc

WINEMAKER Andrew Miller What do you love about aged wine?

I enjoy watching wines evolve and develop more complexity and character with age. I think it’s a lot like watching my children grow up – I loved them as babies and love them the same now, but we interact differently.
