Rabbit & Spaghetti Field Blend White 2016
About the wine
The origins of winemaking; caught like lightning in a bottle.
- What is it that we love about traditions? The comfort they bring, or the knowledge that they are organic, natural progressions of our time and place in this wild world. This romantic notion is exactly what Adam has focused on with his Field Blend; a throwback to the way wine was made centuries ago.
- Subtle spice and fruity fragrances will draw you in. Then it's on to the flavour party! Think orange blossom, crisp lime and a gorgeously balanced finish that holds out long enough between each sip. So, how does the natural lottery work?
- Any Field Blend is a one off. It requires the grapes to all come from the same rows, grown in the same crucial soil nutrients, and to be picked at the same time. A true pot-pourri of grapes! This vintage result was 50% Riesling, 25% Pinot Gris and 25% Gewurtztraminer. Very few people trust their winemaking instinct enough to gamble on this process, and Adam has absolutely nailed it for Angels to enjoy at under $15. Unbelievable!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Adam Barton
- Adam Barton began his winemaking journey largely as a result of tasting a glass of the 1965 Lindemans Hunter River Burgundy, which he described as "magic". He was already a master craftsman when we found him, creating tiny amounts of his own premium label wines and winning big at the wine shows.
- Based in the Clare Valley, Adam has the freedom to explore different variteals and keep pushing the boundaries of experimentation to the delight of Angels' taste buds. We knew from the start he was a wine genius and Angels would love him!
- Adam's Rabbit & Spaghetti range of wines are snapped up by Angels, year in, year out. Carefully selected vineyards, passionate grower partners & lots of care and attention to the smallest detail in the winery make them an amazingly good drop.
