)
Indigene is based on Barossa’s wonderful resource of old-vine Shiraz and Mataro (aka Mourvèdre).
The fruit hails from two respected vineyards in the Barossa Valley, Vinehaven and Rock Valley, planted in 1926 (Mataro) and 1996 (Shiraz), respectively. No-frills farming reigns at both sites―picking and pruning are done by hand, vines are predominantly dry-grown and inputs are minimal. Both parcels were destemmed and fermented in small stainless-steel tanks. After 14 days, the wine was pressed to one seasoned 900-litre foudre and one new 500-litre puncheon. After 22 months, the wines were blended and bottled.
“Deep, almost opaque ruby red colour. Blueberry, mulberry, ironstone and boudin noir aromas. Deep and powerful, the core fills with black and blue fruits that are powerful but not overt as ferrous minerality, deep meaty and dark spice tones all fill through and keep it balanced and intriguing. There's no doubting the density here, tannins are built to handle it though. Granular and driving, it carries phenomenal length and a firm dryness at the finish. A wine built for the long haul and will definitely be best with suitable food.”
“A blend of 90/10% mataro/shiraz from the Vinehaven and Rocky Valley vineyards. This smells glorious. Uber-pure satsuma plum, blueberry and black cherry fruits cut with hints of exotic spice, créme de cassis, tobacco, purple floral tones, bay leaf, olive tapenade, graphite and earth. The fruit is the star here; perfectly poised and harmonious, it melds with silty-fine tannins, with a red apple skin acidity on the fade out. Superb.”
