A special white blend from a boutique producer in Barossa. The Lola demonstrates a Southern French ethos of blending in which a range of grapes contribute various enhancing qualities to an elegant food white. Thanks to treasured old vines, obscure varietals and ingenious winemaking (with some maceration on skins), this is a delicious white at any price.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Complex nose of ripe yellow fruits and fresh herbs – lemon, grapefruit, green mango and fresh curry leaf are complimented by delicate green ginger and brioche notes. Supple, fresh palate – medium in weight, lightly textural with a fresh, delicately stoney finish. Flavours range through dried pear, fresh curd, preserved lemon and almond."
93/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, June 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"There’s interest aplenty here. Both the texture and flavour on offer are excellent. It’s generously fruited, has a creamy-almost-vanillin overlay, is taut through the palate but still manages to run juicily out through the finish. Honeysuckle, citrus, stone fruits and a mineral characters come with the lightest dusting of dry grasses. It’s very good, all over."
