Details
Early picked Chardonnay from the cool Adelaide Hills, with plenty of acidity, given the skin contact treatment by Alex and Galit. What a wine. The skins and the time in barrel add to the textural essence of this wine. There's apricot and peach and cinnamon, but overall it's a light orange wine - pithy, aromatic and precise.
Alex Schulkin + Galit Shachaf are partners, in both life and in this free, wild project that is The Other Right. A dream team who love to dream. Alex makes the wines whilst Galit draws the labels, sends the invoices and does a thousand other things that keep the business humming. Recently they've tried to promote their young daughter Millie to Deputy Vice President of Sales, but she's busy with school so for now it's just Alex and Galit. Just the way they like it. All their wines are made from grapes and nothing else. Striving to keep it simple, aspiring to make wine that is precise, pure, and exciting. Winemaking operations are kept to a reasonable minimum with no unnecessary action taken. Using fewer tools requires a lot of attention to detail, patience, creativity and problem solving. No additives are used, letting the wine evolve slowly, according to its natural rhythm while maintaining its character. Youth and freshness are the characters they want to shine through, forming wine that is vivid, vigorous, and full of life. This is the Other Right. Dive in. Go with the flow.

Pairing guide
We’ve long been singing the praises of skin contact wines here at Good Pair Days, and we love nothing more than discovering another beautiful bottle of orange wine to share with you all. This stunner from The Other Right is a real gem, and will pair beautifully with flavourful dishes like chicken with sumac and lemon, homemade falafel sandwiches, tabbouleh salad and eggplant hummus. Richer fish dishes and salmon fillets with lemon and herbs, scallops with chorizo, pork chops and gremolata, and roast chicken thighs will also provide excellent matches to explore.

Wine region

Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills wine region, located in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges
of South Australia is characterised by its high altitude, cool climate, and diverse soils, which all contribute to the unique terroir that produces elegant, complex, and expressive wines. The region's altitude ranges from 400 to 700 meters above sea level, creating a cooler climate than other wine regions in South Australia. The cool temperatures slow down the ripening process of the grapes, resulting in wines with high acidity, delicate aromatics, and elegant flavours. Top sub-regions are Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley, and Basket Range, each with unique microclimates and diverse soil types that produce singular wine styles, the highlights are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and a whole lot more!
