SMALL-BATCH WINES FROM MCLAREN VALE

The (sort of) new kid on the block

From Tatachilla to Knappstein and Coriole, Napa Valley to Burgundy and Austria… Alex gained ample experience in the industry before finally deciding to launch Sherrah a few years ago.

Alex says that ‘wine to me is not about tasting blackcurrant and cigar box but how the wine ‘feels’ to drink. Flavour is obviously a big part of this, but how does the wine flow from the front to the back-palate? It should transition effortlessly from first smell and sip to swallow, aftertaste and lingering influence of tannin and acid. I believe in balance, a great wine should have no sharp edges, it should have beautiful smooth curves from front to back.’

“The purpose of SHERRAH is to showcase the varieties I believe are best suited to the amazing region of McLaren Vale, truly one of the finest places to grow grapes in the world.”
