Tasting Notes
Savoury, light bodied and mineral: The Plump Pinot is from his small home block in the Yarra Valley. 100% whole-bunch fermented, the perfume is floral and sweet Five Spice, and the palate is, as always, plump with fleshy forest berries, laced in fine chalky tannins. A delicate wine with plenty to reveal, Plump is delicious with a slight chill on a warm day. Around 13% alc - Michael L
Thick as Thieves is a one-man, Yarra based operation and that one-man is a guy named Syd.
After 10 years in winemaking, working for some of the Yarra's top producers during that time, Syd's oenological clock started ticking and he decided the time was right to make his own babies.
Not having to answer to bean counters and marketing departments, Thick as Thieves has the freedom to experiment with alternative varieties and styles which means Syd gets to make interesting wines that he loves to drink, not wines that simply sell or are in vogue.
We could list the university qualifications, international travel history and the resume but really , who cares ??!! Thick as Thieves is about the wine in the bottle.
