Tasting Notes
Oceanic Feeling is the textural, skin contact take on Grüner Veltliner from winemaker Mitch, off a sunny, organically farmed site on the Limestone Coast of South Australia that he had been wanting to work for a while now. Mitch likes his Grüner with a bit more flesh and grip, so the wine sits on its skins to draw out texture and really tease out the grape's signature white pepper and spice, while giving the orchard fruit a slightly sun-dried, sun-kissed lift. From there it heads into amphora to keep building that texture without ever losing its nerve, so for all the grip there is still a serious line of acidity running right through it. This is a proper gourmet white, the kind of bottle that truly comes alive at the table. - Pete L
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.
