Tasting Notes
Sunnyside is the vineyard farmed organically by Clo in Tumbarumba. It's one of the oldest vineyards in the region and was planted in 1987 to Pinot Noir. The soils are typical basalts of the region and the vineyard sits at an altitude of 650m asl.
The Sunnyside wine was inspired by the Coteaux Champenois Blanc wines of Champagne. Direct pressed Pinot Noir and fermented and aged in old barrels to produce a white wine reminiscent of Champagne without the bubbles. It's both savoury and pretty, with its secondary autolysis characters and Pinot Noir perfumes. The palate is medium bodied yet held together by striking acidity and textural minerality. - 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.
