Winemakers Comments: Vintage 2024 was just about the perfect vintage. Warm but not too hot, and bone dry during the growing season, was welcome change from the past couple of years, allowing the fruit to ripen steadily. Meanwhile, cool nights kept acids and freshness high. With decent yields across the board, we had flexibility in our winemaking, selecting the best parcels and blending to make a suite of wines we are super stoked with, and excited to share with the world.
The Hell Series wines represent our experimentation with winemaking techniques, and allow the fruit to express different, unique and compelling characteristics.
Nero d’Avola is, in our minds, the ultimate Australian grape variety. Handy and drought resistant, it produces good size crops that absolutely packed with flavor and natural acidity. It thrives in the hot, dry climate of the Riverland, and when farmed organically and biodynamically, it produces the best fruit in the region by far.
Fermented on skins for 14 days, hand plunged twice daily and pumped over twice during fermentation, the wine is pressed off to old French hogsheads for elevage for 8 months.
Style/Palate: Medium bodied and acid driven on the palate, cranberry and pomegranate pop against soft and evolved tannin for a lovely, smooth yet serious drink
Aormas: Dense, pungent mixed berry on the nose, carob and mossy earth with a crack of white pepper spice
Food Pairing: Best pals with pepperoni pizza (rocket and honey on top optional), or a big bowl of a big bowl of spaghetti alla puttanesca.
