Hopeless Thoughtful Los Tardes 2024

Wiradjuri country

From our winemaker friend Hamish: Organic Syrah grown in Canowindra. Left as whole bunches and co-fermented with chardonnay skins for 3 weeks. The free-run juice was separated and drained into neutral oak, where it was left to rest for 2 years. The wine was then bottled straight out of the barrel sans sulphur. Peculiarly savoury, yet super juicy red fruit notes. All the while remaining light, tight and gently herbaceous.

From us: A bright and left-of-centre, lighter, bright red with a zesty, orangey acid line gushing through tart cherry, wild herbs, turned earth and nutty savoury elements. This is a bit wild, a bit edgy, but super refreshing. Something out of the box.
