Tasting Notes
Chardo, infused with a small quantity of Pinots Noir and Gris from the same address. Picked together and fermented together resulting in red hued wine that feels white. Oysters shells and stewed red fruit. Perhaps smells red and drinks white, but I still maintain its chardonnay. - Producer Note
Eleven Sons is a small-batch, artisanal wine project led by winemaker Mitch Sokolin. Known for a "hands-off" and explorative approach, the label focuses on producing tiny quantities of site-specific wines—sometimes as few as 500 bottles per cuvée—sourced from unique and often overlooked vineyard plots across the globe.
Sokolin employs low-intervention techniques, frequently utilizing whole-cluster fermentation and neutral vessels like stainless steel or old oak to ensure the fruit and terroir remain the focus. Mitch always says you can’t beat good DNA. So he travels far and wide to find vineyards with great geology and climate to make his wines.
He is nomadic in spirit and as a result so are his wines. His Australian range is sourced from specific sites on the Limestone Coast, but he also travels to Spain to source from high-altitude, rocky outcrops in Salamanca (specifically the Sierra de Francia).
The wines typically exhibit a savory, mineral-driven profile with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. They are often compared to the elegant, "rocky" reds of the Canary Islands or Northern Italy's Valtellina, offering a sophisticated alternative to more traditional, fruit-forward styles.
