Opaque dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Lovely scents of plum, blueberry and liquorice combine followed by incense and fragrant fresh herbs. Juicy dark plum and ripe blueberry fruits are backed by bright acidity with some subtle liquorice, earthy incense and spicy dried herb characters evolving on the fresh, dry finish. Polished tannins with an aftertaste that’s both delicious and vivid.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Like its name, Smallfry, a partnership between Suzi Hilder and Wayne
Ahrens, is a small fish in the big sea of Aussie wine. Exactly the
kind of fish we like. Both viticulturists by training, Suzi and Wayne
were bitten by the winemaking bug and started Smallfry in 2005, always
committed to native yeast ferments, zero to minimal adjustment, old
oak, and a soft hand in the cellar allowing the vineyard to speak.
Their style is food friendly, European-influenced, and restrained.
Wayne and Suzi own and farm this vineyard in Barossa’s Vine Vale
subregion, on the valley floor…and the vines are OLD, some dating back
to the 1850s!
We love the Smallfry restraint and focus on freshness in all the
wines. In the past we've run from Aussie Shiraz, frightened by the
BIGness of it all.
