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.
Fiano is a variety we’ve lusted over for a long time, and in the last few years have had the opportunity to work with in new exciting ways. Set to become a mainstay in the Hell range, upon receiving the fruit into the winery, we split it into two parcels – half was pressed off straight away as a juice ferment, the balance fermented on skins until sugar dry. Elevage in a combination of Slavonian cask and neutral French barriques for 9 months before final blending and bottling
Color:
Style/Palate: the palate opens up into a candied citrus dream – blood orange juiciness and acid offset but a well developed, deep fruit feel. Fuzzy mouthfeel from the barrel fermentation and time on lees interplays well with the acid to provide glorious length.
Aormas: white floral, jasmine flower, pineapple and honeysuckle
Food Pairing : fatty, oily, salty food – fried zucchini flowers, or sweet and sour pork
