Alkina Polygon No. 1 Shiraz, Barossa Valley
Vintage 2022
750 ML
HK$1,180.00
Score: DCT97
An intense focus on specific geologies that run through Alkina’s Greenock Vineyard has resulted in micro-areas defined as polygons, which are vinified separately in concrete vessels. This expression comes from old vines planted on schist, giving the lean fruit profile a distinctive savoury note, with a chewy, meaty texture and a sprinkling of white pepper over dry, dark red fruits lending this lean, taut wine an irresistible sassy appeal.

“ALKINA” is an Indigenous Australian girl’s name meaning “Moon” or “Moonlight”. This name embodies the respect for the land and the many forces of nature that the estate works with to bring life, energy and authenticity to their wines. Ancient stones and soils, organic and biodynamic viticulture, small scale winemaking and the creation of unique micro-terroir wines, grown and made on the estate in the Western Barossa ranges of the Barossa Valley. The wines are certified organic and biodynamic. They focus on the heritage varieties that have found their natural home in the region, from vines dating back to the 1950’s. Alkina only uses indigenous yeast for ferments, and high levels of whole bunches are used in ferments, which helps to express character, as well as build complexity and savoury interest. The Polygons are the pinnacle of the range, that represent different micro ‘Grand Cru’ terroirs within their vineyards. These are available in extremely limited quantities. |
