The Adelé range has a dedicated focus on Natural and Biodynamic principles, which revolve around the guiding philosophy of minimal intervention in both the vineyard and winery. The wines are all fermented from indigenous yeasts, using skin contact and whole bunches. No sulphur is used and the wines are 100% unfiltered.
They are produced in genuine small batches, with an average production of only 100 dozen per year. Winemaker Ben Ranken has just been named a Young Gun Finalist in the 2019 Young Guns of Wine Awards.
Whole berries wild-fermented, 70+ days on skins, matured for 18 months in used French oak. The extreme time on skins has done its job very well. The colour is bright and clear, sour and fresh dark cherry fruit and - best of all - the tannins resolved. All up a major success.

Heathcote vineyard. Some shiraz skins are layered into the fermenter (around 5% of overall). Left on skins for about two months, then heads to old, large format oak.
Earthy, savoury scents with plums, dried cranberry, tar and dark chocolate going on. Fine, chewy tannins wrap in dark cherry, dark chocolate, twiggy-brambly notes. Very dry, very savoury, powerful in tannins. Serious stuff here.
