2021 SMALLFRY PIMPERNEL BAROSSA TROUSSEAU
2021 SMALLFRY PIMPERNEL BAROSSA TROUSSEAU, BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA. 100% Trousseau. (Natural)
From the winery: "A further extension into the fresh young red space from our Joven starting point, Pimpernel takes us where angels fear to tread. Suzi especially wanted to explore a whole bunch fermented reductive style and Trousseau is the perfect vehicle. Just a minimal SO2 add and bottled en casa this is natural wine in anyone’s language. Previously we have used the old vine Trousseau/Bastardo in our Joven blend and I have seen it as dark fruits, Mulberry, Blackberry but in this wine it seems to me more red fruited and rhubarby, nice herbal from the whole bunch and fitting the brief of juicy, smashable, complex and interesting."
About: Smallfry is a partnership in business and life between Suzi Hilder and Wayne Ahrens, viticulturists bitten by the winemaking bug. ‘We made our first mindful natural ferment in 2002 and from the very beginning it was a lightbulb moment. Intuitively it felt very right, we have made many mistakes, had significant setbacks but all along the desire to follow this path hasn’t weakened. If people can see this joy in our wines would be the ultimate reward. We are at heart farmers, the act of creation from earth, plant and climate is encapsulated by ferment into our unique expression, our expression is our voice among many which hopefully is a chorus to lead humanity back to the earth.
