Whistler Wines ‘Fruit Tingle’ Frizzante 2022
$26.43
About This Wine
This wine is made up of three grape varieties- 38% Semillon, 34% Riesling and 28% White Frontignac. The White Frontignac was grown by Greg Barritt, down at Rowland Flat towards the southern end of the Barossa Valley. The Semillon and Riesling were grown here on our own vineyards around our Cellar Door using organic and biodynamic practices. This wine is designed to be fun, so don’t take it too seriously. It has a hint of sweetness and a spritz that leaves you feeling refreshed and wanting more. Dangerously smashable stuff!

Barossa Valley Wine
The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.
A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.
Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
