Origin: Barossa Valley, Australia
Grapes: Mourvedre

My journey has shown me many things and I have met many people. One of those people is Anton Van Klopper "the count". Find him. Try his wines.

In 2010 I started making some wines with no addition of sulphur. What resulted was wines of purity and of a place. This delicate little Mourvèdre from deep rich gravel and loam looks great.

She is like a first kiss, exciting, invigorating and pure. It is so much fun making this wine and bottling her early to show you how she traveled through the season.

After 12 years on his family's Seppeltsfield vineyards Shobbrook can now be found tending his fledgling Organic farm in Flaxman Valley. Currently at two acres, the plan is to expand this to five while continuing to source fruit from likeminded growers and friends in Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley.

Shobbrook is intrinsic to Australia's Natural movement. The early days saw him touring the length of the country shaking up our industry with vigour, his visits, and the wines, were exciting, unprecedented and at times confronting, it was a wild ride for which we are forever grateful.
