If there is one thing Angus Vinden likes to do, it's to dabble in different styles and techniques. The Experimental Series follows that trend, with a real smorgasbord of varieties, winemaking methods and flavours, and it throws up super interesting wines, just like this Gewürztraminer. Made with some skin contact (but not too much to dip over into orange wine territory), this wildly floral Hunter Valley wine is both juicy and pretty but with plenty of grip and crunch.

Angus Vinden is a confirmed star of the Australian wine scene. His winery, Vinden Estate, in the Hunter Valley, was founded in 1998. He took over from his father, Guy, in 2015, inheriting great vineyards in the bargain. These sites, combined with Angus's talent, make a potent mix. Since taking over, Angus has maintained the original Vinden Wines label, which encapsulates traditional Hunter styles, and has his own offshoots, Headcase and Experimental Series, where he flexes his wine creativity and experimental approach; this is the Vinden way, a mix of innovation and tradition. For all Angus's labels, the fruit is treated with the utmost respect from vine to bottle, and he has trodden a careful line combining his modern and youthful approach to the business whilst preserving the legacy his father created before him.
