Ludo Wines Mt Torrens Colluvium Moscato Giallo Verdicchio Viognier Pinot Bianco 2022

Co-planted Moscato Giallo, Viognier, and Pinot Bianco grapes were hand-harvested and filled into a French hogshead partly destemmed and partly as whole bunches with juice elevage for 8 months. The Verdicchio was direct-pressed, fermented and aged in a stainless tank and then blended, the final wine rested in French barriques for 3 months. A jubilant wine with aromas of white and yellow florals. Gardenia, Honeysuckle and Freesia with a heady mix of persimmon, mango skin and nectarine. What makes this wine a sensation is the spectrum of peachy aromatics from Viognier coupled with the frame of Verdicchio’s oily character and briney minerality. It’s a contrasting wine that offers all manner of edible delights and drinks like a refreshingly dry white wine. Raw peanut, ginger root and white pepper on the finish. Drinking well now but will cellar for up to 4 years and continue to develop in complexity and detail. Serve with Balmain bugs and chilli sambal.
