2018 Oupa Danie’s Swan Song, The Liberator Ep. 37, WO Calitzdrop

Muscat

The crushed grapes are left in contact with their skins for two days with the occasional pumping over and wild fermentation was allowed to start.  The must was then fortified with 96% spirit to stop fermetation whilst the wine still had 250 grams of residual sugar.  Heady, rich and concentrated with spice, stone fruits and amazingly long finish.  Enjoy this fabulous wine with toffee or fruit based desserts, or stick some away for it to develop further.

Nebbiolo

The Solita Nebbiolo is made from the oldest Nebbiolo vines in South Australia, planted on North East facing slopes.  This age-worthy red wine displays the typical characteristics of the grape one would find in Piedmont, yet it wears an Aussie overcoat.  Silky and scented with rose petal, sour cherry and floral notes, the palate shows impeccable balance with beautifully integrated alcohol and silky yet drying tannins.  Delicious after a decent decant, this terrific example of Nebbiolo from one of the very best Barossa producers will reward careful ageing and the wine should happily evolve for decades to come.
