Details
Oh Quincy J, how good you are! This scintillating blend of Gewürztraminer and Riesling will have you busting out some jazz and having a boogie around the living room. The Gewurz in this blend will have your nose deep diving into the glass over and over again with heady aromas of musk, lemon verbena and rose petals. The palate has all this plus a nutty edge with just the slightest hint of funk.
Established in 2016, winemaker Andrew Wardlaw’s journey began in the mid-90s, studying viticulture and learning from renowned names like Lehmanns, Henschkes, Torbreck, and of course, his pop. After gaining experience in Beaujolais and various regions in France, Andrew was convinced that wild ferments and a lo-fi approach with zero to very little adds were the way to go. In the cellar, grapes are foot crushed or destemmed, with some whole bunches for partial carbonic maceration; this novel method conjures some playful candied aromatics, a nifty trick from his travels, no doubt. Whites are pressed to oak or fermented on skins, while reds undergo hand mixing, aging in old French oak on lees, and bottling without temperature control or additives. The use of old oak softens the wine without reducing fruit character, and starting from the 2019 vintage, no sulphur is added to the red wines, resulting in remarkable lift and elegance. The goal is simple: to make affordable wines that bring joy to the drinker. If you’re one of the lucky few that experience aromas and flavours as colours and textures, they’d probably look like the Edenflo labels, so feel free to judge the bottle by its label.
