“Intensely rustic and brooding, this Pinot Noir from the Piccadilly Valley is deep and complex, with dark black fruits balanced by sandy tannins. The cool Adelaide Hills climate gives it a fresh, pensive finish.
Impeccable Disorder is from a selected parcel of the most ethereally powerful Pinot Noir for the vintage. It is a deep, introspective Pinot Noir from the Piccadilly Valley located behind Mount Lofty. This area is regarded as one of the highest-altitude winegrowing regions in Australia (1300 to 1950ft). Fog and cool temperatures mean Pinot Noir is an apt choice. The label is from Taras’ 1990s punk band Kranktus’ first album. Just a normal picture of Taras strapped to a chair screaming…. with a TV tied to his head…. the usual.
The grapes are hand-picked and placed into open-top fermenters (40% whole cluster) for spontaneous fermentation. The wine is then racked to a mix of 3/4 old and 1/4 new French oak barrels for aging. The wine is bottled with a small dose of SO2 and a coarse filtration. No fining.
