Charlotte Dalton "Liminal" Adelaide Hills White Blend 2021

Vin Chicago: 88 Points

(12/2023) Winemaker Charlotte Hardy crafts this natural Australian white from a blend of 44% Semillon, 42% Chardonnay and 14% Fiano, planted in the Adelaide Hills. This delicately featured and slightly hazy white features notes of muskmelon, white grapefruit, guava, lemon pith and river pebble minerals with a light dusting of grip to its lengthy finish. It's a fun one with natural wine bonafides that doesn't overdo anything.

(10/1/2023) A blend of Semillon, Chardonnay and Fiano, this is the color of green-tinged cloudy lemon juice. The nose is wild, slightly honeyed and a little musty, like the press at crush time, with skins, pulp, leaves and stems all mashed together. There's a shriek of crunchy lemony acidity and some skinsy texture to to the palate. One for the natural-loving crowd, but not so wild as to scare away more conventional drinkers.
