Evan Evans Bianco 2021

Evan Evans Bianco 2021
This Barossa Bianco is fresh, intensely aromatic and fine boned, but with rich, juicy flesh. Profound yeast influence of vivid tropical flavours and lactate.A rounded shape to the mouthfeel, but tightly acidic.Warmer ferment temperatures have given the wine its creamy texture and enhanced varietal character. Old barriques have contributed vanillin to the flavour profile. A bright citric tartness to the finish. 

“Adrian Hoffmann’s epic patch of ancient vines in Ebenezer is renowned among Barossa-philes. 125yo shiraz vines, on red-brown loams over limestone. Winemaker Chris Ringland has a long-standing relationship with Adrian and his land. Pop your nose in the glass and you quickly double-take, trying to take in the sheer concentration and monolithic quality of the fruit. Über-intense blackberry, black cherry and cassis notes jump out of the glass with hints of cherry clafoutis, clove and baking spice, blackstrap licorice, bay leaf, earth, dark soy, smoked meats and dried herbs. The fruit weight and density is peaking the meters, the tannin long and sandy fine. That hefty 16.5% alcohol is perfectly in balance, with fine acidity providing drive and frame. It’s a beast, and I mean that in the best way possible. Give it an extended decant and enjoy.” 97 pts, Dave Brookes- Wine Companion
