Alkina was established in 2015 when Argentinian vintner Alejandro Bulgheroni purchased a 60-hectare farm near Greenock in the North Western corner of Barossa Valley.
With 70-year-old vine and 170-year-old stone buildings in need of repair. Amelia Nolan was tasked with bringing new life into the old bones of the farm. With the guidance of acclaimed winemaker Alberto Antonini, terroir expert Pedro Parra and a strong local team, Alkina is now a magical place with terroir winegrowing and regenerative farming at its heart.
This 0.4-hectare polygon is part of the Old Quarter of the vineyard and was split into four distinct parcels by our terroir specialist, Pedro Parra, during his second visit in 2018. Three parcels of vines sit on heavily fractured micaceous schist. One small area of 0.097 hectares in the middle lacks this schist content and is excluded from the ferment. NASAA certified organic and biodynamic.
1505kg was handpicked on the 15th of March, 50% whole bunches were hand bucketed into concrete tulip and fermented with indigenous yeast. After two weeks on skins, Polygon 1 was basket pressed, before going through malolactic fermentation. The wine was then racked to concrete egg for 9 months of maturation before bottling in August 2023. Only 746 bottles produced.
Winemaker Notes
A savoury and intense expression of Shiraz from 6 rows of 70 year old vines. There are charcuterie notes with cassis and white pepper. The mid palate volume and intensity is impressive, with a scratchy tannin making its weight seamless and the texture captivating. This wine will continue to improve with age and will reward long cellaring. Alkina
