Pete Schell’s Papillon, ‘the butterfly’, was one of the first of the modern Barossa wines to show that ripeness and depth of flavour needn’t come at the expense of freshness and vineyard clarity. The 2019 remains at the very top of its game. Deliciously crunchy texture, cleansing acidity and savoury grip. All this is somehow perfectly integrated with the wine’s generous fruit giving a delicious sense of balance. Naturally fermented with a 40% portion of whole bunches for heightened fragrance and more freshness.
Papillon is crafted from a range of old vine, dry grown Grenache and Cinsault vineyards, located in the east and far northern reaches of the Barossa Valley. The average age of these low yielding vines today sits at 90 years old. Each vineyard is hand harvested when just ripe to ensure natural acidity and freshness are preserved. This would do a top southern Rhône producer proud.
