Si Lello White Si Vintners 2016 natural wine, low sulphites, skin contact Semillon/Sauvignon, fermented in eggs, wood and steel. A fascinating textural white wine with freshness and fruit alongside savoury characters and complex sensations in the mouth. The wine is made with no interventions at all save a little sulphur at bottling and will show some sediment in the bottom.
Si Vintners is made up of Iwo Jakimowicz and Sarah Morris who in September 2010 purchased a 30 acre estate with 20 acres under vine (the majority of which were planted in 1978). Their property is situated just south of the Margaret River township of Rosa Glen and the motivation was to handcraft natural (and natural-tasting) wines, expressive of the vineyard and sub-region. They started farming their vineyard organically/biodynamically from the beginning and all their wines are made without any of the usual commercial wine making additives apart from a small sulphur addition at bottling and bottled without fining or filtration.
