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.
It was great to catch winemaker Ben Rankin last week, a rare treat, he’s an affable guy, quietly going about improving his quarry, and of course deeply involved in the Galli Scholarship that has shaped many a career in Australian wine through the lens of Italian wine styles/Australia-Italian wine styles.
