The Natural wines of Australia
Tom Shobbrook in his vineyard March 2020 Hello everyone... Most of you know I'm living in Australia and I have been working with wines in Melbourne for some time. Natural wine in Australia has a very identified scene, due to some winemakers in South Australia. The heart of the concentration where the movement starts, it is in Adelaide Hills in the village of Basket Range, with a great producer in Barossa Valley "Tom Shobbrook", in Mclaren Vale Jauma by James Erskine. Here a little article by Eric Asimov in the NY Times about the movement: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/04/dining/drinks/natural-wine-australia-lo-fi.html Basket Range is on the hills of Adelaide city with lots of natural forests with those patches of vineyards very beautiful, you'll find when you drive up with the car. From Adelaide airport, it's very close 30 minutes driving. Long and cool growing season with vines placed between 450 to 600 meters above sea level, make this region a cool climate
