Barossa

Lost Wolf Hard Semillon 2020 500 ml

By chance in 2020, Wolf's younger daughter heard of some Barossa Semillon that had been left of the vine just a bit to long. Not right for a table wine, but perfect for a fortified. A plan was hatched. Late harvest semillon fortified with brandy spirit and aged in ex whisky barrels before being hand bottled and hand labelled in limited qualities. Think Sherry, but from the Barossa!!

Tasting Notes

This is fun winemaking at it best. A little soak of the juice on skins, a press in the basket press and let the ferment get going. The ferment was stopped by fortification with Brandy Spirit to leave a sweat’ish wine that is now stored in ex Australian Whisky barrels. The wine will continue to evolve the barrel developing complexity from the wood and previous contents. Best fresh from the barrel, it is bottled as required. Each label has the date of bottling hand written on it. This is a single vintage fortified.

Remarkable, unique fortified wine

"Keeping this short. The price was less than half RRP. It was a genuinely creative experiment taking orphaned Semillon grapes with noble rot and then matching them with a high quality distilled vinous spirit. The result, as the tile says, is unique and splendid. This wine will last for decades if you can keep your hands off it. Brilliant as an aperitif or in small quantities in a post prandial setting. Bravo!"
