Adelina 'Eternal Return' Dolcetto 2018

The Adelina vineyards are situated in Spring  Farm Valley, just south of the township of Clare. Neighbours include the vineyards of Wendouree, Aberfeldy and Sevenhill Cellars. The small Adelina plantings were originally establi shed around 1910; mostly Shiraz and Grenache with small plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. The vineyard is right next door to Birk’s Wendouree so we know the terroir is good!

For this follow-up to the cracking, amaro-scented inaugural release, Col McBryde has returned to one of the highest and coolest parts of the Adelaide Hills--the Ceravolo Vineyard at Ashton in the Piccadilly Valley. Planted in 2007, the vines here are rooted in sandy loam with schist above sandstone. Even though it's fresh and medium-bodied, this year's version is quite tangy, with cherry and anise notes and some funky spice. The finish is juicy and refreshing.
