Background/Story: |
Durif is one of Australia’s undiscovered gems. People in the know, we suspect, keep quiet about it so as not to arouse too much competition for what is, after all, a scarce bottle of wine. Atze’s Corner is one of the only wineries in the Barossa Valley to have planted Durif and based on this result more should follow. Mind you, Andy Kalleske did plant his Durif on prime vineyard land in 200 dozen bottles produced |

Unveiling The Mob Montepulciano: A Rare Limited Edition Wine
Welcome to the exclusive world of The Mob Montepulciano – a wine like no other, where rarity meets drama and a tale of triumph unfolds. With only 150 dozen bottles crafted, this extravagant wine is a true gem waiting to be savored by a fortunate few.
The Dramatic Story: In its inaugural year, a mischievous group of sheep, affectionately named "The Mob," managed to infiltrate our vineyard through a tiny gap in the fence. A tragedy befell the vines, leaving the tiny patch of estate devastated. However, these tough vines proved their resilience. Three years later, they delivered a crop of grapes second to none, a testament to the beauty of growing on ironstone and red clay. From central Italy, Montepulciano is celebrated for its savory tannins and juicy fruit.
Tasting Note: A deep, dark purple hue foretells the great potential of The Mob Montepulciano. Its intense aroma captivates with candied, dark fruits, cracked pepper, and mocha. Upon sipping, the wine seamlessly comes together. Medium-bodied with silky, savory tannins gracefully framing the fruit – blackberries, zippy raspberries, and succulent blueberries create an irresistible symphony.
Pairing: This red wine is tailor-made for umami-rich foods. Pair it with a succulent rack of lamb or indulge in the earthy goodness of a mushroom risotto for a culinary experience to remember.
Production: Limited to a mere 150 dozen bottles, each sip of The Mob Montepulciano is a true privilege.
Alcohol: 14%
Maturation: Aged for 18 months in a mix of 3rd and 4th fill French Oak Hogsheads, this wine bears subtle hints of oak, allowing the chewy raw tannins to soften out gracefully.
Viticulture: Our single cordon spur (hand) pruned vines ensure low yield and exceptional fruit quality, producing a mere 2 tonnes per acre.
Single Vineyard: Planted in 2009 on 1 hectare of land with scattered ironstone and shallow clay loam over white sandstone. Nestled on an east-facing slope in the Koonunga subregion, The Mob Montepulciano enjoys an elevation of 300 meters.
Cellaring: This wine is ready to be enjoyed now, yet its aging potential promises delightful evolution until 2030.
Embrace the rarity and splendor of The Mob Montepulciano, where every sip tells a tale of resilience and triumph. Secure your place in history with this limited edition masterpiece and savor the enchanting flavors of this extraordinary wine.

Background/Story: |
Andy has adopted Montepulciano along with a swathe of other Italian varieties, introduced them to his family’s Barossa vineyards and is making the wine with his usual flair. But it was a close run thing with the Montepulciano; a mob of excited sheep nearly grazed the young vines to death. Resurrected, and I suppose, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, the 2016 vintage has produced a cracking wine. |

It was next level amazing. Drank beautifully now. Will have another one in 5 years and the other in 20 and will be even more amazing I’m sure
AustraliaIt was the first time I tried this durif. It was bold and the favour was good with long lasting taste.
AustraliaDeep red in colour, full bodied and smooth as silk. Just the wine to go with slow roasted lamb and baked pumpkin wedges, and our adult daughters visiting for the night. An Easter weekend treat, sharing beautiful food and wine with loved ones. Almost made us forget about the imposed social restrictions!
