Winemakers Comments: Vintage 2022 was another cooler year in the Riverland – after a bumper crop in 2021, hail in late spring and issues with bunch set on some patches, yields for the year are slightly below average. But what the year lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality – ripping acidity, plush fruits and flavor for days characterize a vintage that, while not without its challenges, has offered up some very yummy wines.
The Hell Series wines represent our experimentation with winemaking techniques, and allow the fruit to express different, unique and compelling characteristics.
All parcels were handpicked, destemmed and fermented separately-the Fiano in stainless steel while the Arinto and Malvasia was fermented in neutral French barriques. The wine was blended and bottled during vintage to capture the last bit of fermentation, producing the sparkling per nat style. To differentiate from our DLQ Pet Nats the wine was disgorged prior to release. No dosage, so very dry. Disgorged may lose 20-30ml.The bottle is topped with additional wine.
Style/Palate: Dry and crunchy, this is a very clean and pretty serious pet nat. Fiano is the acid driven backbone of the wine but fairly neutral-the Malvasia and Arinto, fermented in oak, bring the real interest, creamy mouthfeel and roundness that fleshes out the wine. A lovely lighter carbonation post disgorging is pleasant ad inviting, adding to that creamy easiness. Yum, fun, but deadly serious-a new way for pet nat!
Aormas: savoury yeastiness, baked sourdough with green fruit aroma.
Food Pairing : oysters or buffalo mozzarella and fresh tomato
