[SOLD-OUT] Ravensworth Long Way Around Bianco 2020

WINE FRONT 94 POINTS!  WHEN BUSHFIRES DESTROYED RAVENSWORTH'S 2020 VINTAGE, THEY SOUGHT A LITTLE HELP FROM FRIENDS... TREBBIANO-DOMINANT WHITE WINE.  

"A Frankland River excursion for Bryan Martin of Ravensworth, the gewurz here supplementing his loss of grapes from 2020 smoke taint. He’s bunged this on its skins and the colour is gold.

 

So pungent. Wild perfume of ginger, preserved lemon, super floral too, almost decaying lillies as the scent. Flavours are set around ginger-lemon tea, the tannins of tea too, it’s at first sweet but then trails off into bitter lemon Schweppes soda kind of feel. It’s really lovely. A nuttiness lingers. It’s such complete orange wine. Bryan has the master touch with skin contact." - Wine Front

"This is a multi-region blend based on the fruit from this wonderful old vineyard in the Swan valley near Perth. Dry grown, bush vines, quite hot area very reminiscent of Spain and Portugal. Our Long Way Around Bianco is mostly Trebbiano, one of Italy’s most versatile and widely planted varieties that goes by many synonyms right across Europe. A short time on skins and then barrel fermented. This was blended with Gewurztraminer from Frankland and Riesling from Porongurup, respectively adding exotic aromas and acidity.

 A rich robust wine with exotic flavours and textures." - Ravensworth
