2022 Ochota Barrels 'Textures Like Sun' Red Blend. Adelaide Hills-SA - 750ML.
The label may be completely illegible with its utterly lurid and almost painful yellow label. “That’s the idea”, said Taras back in 2018. “It’s something in a clear bottle, released in Spring, nothing to hide, yummy.” This wine has always been about the result and not the components, with each vintage changing quite a bit in the ‘how’s’ and ‘what’s’. The name of the wine is taken from lyrics from the song ‘Golden Brown’ by The Stranglers as it was the song Taras and Amber danced to at their wedding.
Pinot Noir, Grenache, gewurztraminer, Gamay & Pinot Meunier blended post primary fermentation. Red varietals are all initially whole bunch before being pressed to old barriques to finish primary, while the gewurztaminer is started off skin contact. Luscious and supple initially on the palate, giving way to finely shaped tannins.
