- TASTING NOTE: Layered and rich, this is a unique expression of Australian Riesling. Ripe green apples and rounded stone fruit character are complemented by a hint of spicy, botrytis notes. Soft, mouthcoating palate weight and a crispy lick of acid at the finish to tidy it all up. This is very cool, complex vino.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Grapes that were effected by Botrytis were hand picked from Geoff Hardy's K1 Vineyard and whole bunch pressed. Cool, wild yeast ferment in stainless steel and allowed to go through full malolactic fermentation on full solids. Bottled unfined and unfiltered and with minimal sulphur.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: From scratch; a literal few tonnes of grapes in 2018, Jordan Hein created Moorak — named as an ode to his birthplace, the small town of Moorak, South Australia. A first-generation winemaker from self- study, experimentation and learning from experience, Jordan developed the label to encompass his stylistic approach to traditional and left-field winemaking techniques. Experimenting and researching more varieties and regions in an ever- developing portfolio of unique and considered wines. These are important elements of Jordan and Moorak’s ideology towards winemaking, while having a low impact to the land itself. Each vintage, Moorak strives for partnerships with sustainable and organic growers, each with a progressive focus on regenerative viticulture. The underlying aim is to present fruit from those with knowledge, a deep understanding of the vines and vehement respect for the land from where it grows. A negotiate style, purchasing grapes from the aforementioned growers, has risen to unique adaptability — allowing Jordan to source, produce and present varieties with more creativity. Not limited by single vineyards, Moorak continues to offer a dynamic range of multi-regional wines produced solely in the one facility. Located in McLaren Vale, South Australia, the winery is a minimal carbon-impact facility, completely off-grid, using Solar power, rainwater and bore water throughout production.
