Vinden Wines is one of very few wineries in Australia to grow and produce this rare grape varietal - it is a teinturier, one of the few grapes with red flesh, resulting from a cross in the 1800’s between a Grenache and Petit Bouschet. Grown on Vinden Estate on red loamy clay, it truly reflects the characteristics of the grape varietal, a fruit-forward style with red berries on the palate.  This new release is bottled with a light spritz, and bottled under a crown seal (2019 photo as an example - new label coming soon).

“This conceptual label is a photography project that I started during lockdown in 2020. Each year, post harvest, I’ll take a self portrait to represent that respective vintage which will then be utilized as the label - it aims to offer an insight into what I was thinking that year. In 20 years’ time you’ll be able to line up all of the bottles and see how I mature as both a winemaker and a man.” - Angus Vinden.

2023 Pokolbin Blanc - Lullaby
.
This years' Pokolbin Blanc is a blend of multiple varieties, with some fermented on skins, some in stainless steel, some in clay amphora and some in neutral French oak, to build complexity, weight and texture. I wonder if you can guess what all of these varieties are?! This funky little number is light, fun and delicious.

Sourced from our Somerset Vineyard - the blocks were planted by the Howard family in 1965 & 1969 over fine clay loam soil, the fruit was hand picked in early February. The juice was fermented on fine solids in stainless steel, a concrete pyramid, neutral oak and given extended lees contact to build complexity. The wine shows the character of the old gnarled vines; refreshing natural acidity, citrus fruit, delicate texture & minerality.
