Tasting Notes
A quirky field blend from the Stonegarden Vineyard in the Eden Valley. There's Muscat, Frontignac, Verdelho, Mataro, the list goes on. The result, however, is a delicious skin-contact white with bright citrus notes, blossom, pink lady apple and lovely, savoury salinity. It's aromatic and textural, with ample fruit on the palate and an almost peach-skin feel to it. Super drinkable! - Felix G
The wines are experimental, no intervention styles, where anything goes. But the results are undeniably delicious. Using fruit from throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys, Matt creates fun and vibrant expressions of our very own backyard. These wines are brilliant additions to the tapestry of the Barossan wine scene, and well worth a look.
Songs From Mars is the Barossa project of rockstar Californian winemaker, Matthew Rorick. His label in the States, Forlorn Hope, has a cult following amongst the lo-fi, natural crowd. Matt likes to push the boundaries a little, and champion the forgotten parcels, the unknown varieties, the edgiest techniques.
It was on a trip to the Barossa to visit his friend Jaysen Collins (of Massena fame), that Matt came across a few spare parcels of old vine fruit. His winemaking fingers started to itch, and he couldn't help but try to express his experience of the Barossan landscape through the grapes. To him, it seemed like an alien patch of dirt, as far from his Californian home as possible. Songs From Mars was born.
