Tasting Notes
An eccentric blend of red and white grapes Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc from Orange and Tumbarumba vineyards. The reds were handled semi-carbonically and the white direct pressed. All fermented wild and aged in old barrels for 18 months before being bottled unfined, unfiltered and unsulfured.
It makes for a delicious light bodied red that has been confused for the likes of Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, Grenache and Gamay by many. Go figure! A full spectrum of juicy red, blue and black fruits upfront which lightens as the wine proceeds over the palate, finishing fresh and finely textured. Just bloody delicious really! - Chris L
CLO is a micro-vigneron in NSW. Chris Loth sources fruit from growers in Orange and Tumbarumba, but also manages a vineyard of his own in Tumbarumba. The grapes are grown in high altitude vineyards of varying soil types and micro-climates, each yielding a unique character. The grapes are handpicked and fermented wild in a variety of vessels with out any additions. Elevage is at minimum 18 months before being bottled unfined, unfiltered and unsulfured. They are each full of character, as represented by the expressions on the labels, and are exciting and interesting drinks. Clean and stable too.
