Chaffey Bros “Kontrapunkt” Eden Valley Kerner 2016
A little different and undeniably delightful — Australia's (and the Southern Hemisphere's) only 100% varietal Kerner.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Kerner — a 1929 cross of Riesling and Vernatsch — from the Fechner Bros' vineyard in the Northern Eden Valley. Graeme and Michael Fechner brought cuttings to their vineyard in 2001 after a research trip to Germany; the vines grow through clay into limestone bedrock on an east-facing slope beside a limestone quarry, with a prevailing breeze keeping the site dry enough for a light-handed approach to disease control.
Taste Profile: Translucent pale yellow colour. Grapefruit, citrus rind, white peach and pear aromas with a herbaceous complexity. Light, clean and crisp, with surprising length and high acidity — bitter grapefruit zest, white stone fruit and chalky minerality closing in a honeyed finish.
Winemaking Process: Hand-picked, then whole-bunch pressed for gentle skin contact only. Fermented on gross solids in a temperature-controlled stainless steel fermenter, using a combination of indigenous and selected yeasts to protect delicate aromas. No fining or filtering, making it naturally vegan.
Winemaker: Chaffey Bros Wine Co was founded in 2008 by Eden Valley-born Daniel Chaffey Hartwig, soon joined by brother-in-law Theo Engela. The name nods to the original Chaffey brothers — Canadian hydro engineers who arrived in Australia in 1886 and helped shape the country's early irrigation and wine industry. Barossa born and bred, Hartwig spent 11 years as a wine consultant to some of Australia's leading winemakers before striking out on his own, and today runs the winery with Engela, blending a shared passion for perfumery, history and innovative winemaking into low-yield Barossa and Eden Valley fruit.
