2022 Tangerine Dream

Notes from Smallfry...
Tasting the range of orange wines at Rootstock was a seminal moment for me similar to my first experience of wild yeast fermentation back in 2002. Our place is probably the last to have plantings of Pedro, Semillon and Riesling in the whole Barossa, the majority of these vines saw out the first world war and were too old for call up so this wine gives them a reason for being and a reinvention. Full and dry, grainy tannin make this the red drinkers white, multi layered, rewards time in the glass.
