As his importer says:
Their wines would technically be considered natural, with no additives but minimal sulfur, but they don’t get hung up on dogma. “We definitely aren’t trying to reshape perceptions of wine,” Louis says. “We’re trying to draw on the best parts of ‘natural wine’ and whatever it is you call the other kind of wine, to make wine that is pure, vibrant, speaks of place and variety but most importantly is yum.”
Spice and structure elevate the rich red and blue fruit notes. A plate of charcuterie beckons on the palate, with supporting roles of white pepper and black plum. This wine is rich, almost inky, but with a slender, elegant body. The finish is fresh and layered.
No reviews yet, but Australia’s Winestate (sort of their Wine Spectator) rated a 2021 from this incredible old-vine and dry farmed vineyard 98 points, saying:
A ripping example of Eden Valley Shiraz; deep crimson-purple in colour with red fruits, pepper, dark chocolate and black olive notes on the nose. The palate is packed with juicy plums, black cherry and spicy prunes, which are beautifully integrated on the palate showing balance, structure and length. A silky, luscious Eden Valley Shiraz, this offers remarkable value.
Deep ruby wine with a slight minty green edge to the nose, silky smooth in the mouth, tasting of blueberries and supported by silky smooth tannins with a warm finish.
