Tasting Notes
In 2015 Chris Loth from CLO managed to travel to the Hunter Valley to try his hand at Syrah and Semillon. From the tough 2015 vintage comes some lovely savoury expressions of Hunter Valley terroir. The Syrah Muscat is predominantly Syrah with about 1% Muscat thrown in to add a little life and a little fun to the well-known Syrah/Shiraz variety. The Muscat lifts the nose aromatically yet the palate remains fine and savoury. Drink it a little chilled and drink it now to get the most out of it.
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.
