2021 Yetti & The Kokonut South Australia Red Semillon Project Wine
100% Red Sémillon, an incredibly rare mutation of white Sémillon, sourced from Kuitpo in the southern Adelaide Hills. This experimental "Project Wine" was hand-picked and vinified using multiple fermentation approaches: some batches fully destemmed in stainless steel, others with whole cluster fermentation, and some in ceramic eggs, with extended skin contact ranging from 5 to 250 days. The high-yielding 2021 vintage allowed for extensive experimentation with different vessels and techniques. Components were blended approximately 3 months before bottling, with final aging split between stainless steel tanks and seasoned French barriques.
