Tim Stock is a well known figure in the Sydney wine scene and among other activities, has been influential in bringing traditional natural wines from Georgia into Australia. Les Fruits is Tim's winemaking project, and each year at vintage he produces wines (all farmed organically and/or biodynamically) in a variety of sheds around the Adelaide Hills with his own approach which he describes as: 'More no-fi than lo-fi. No fining, no filtration, and only homeopathic doses of sulphur before bottling.'
The Gonzo is biodynamically farmed co-fermented Cinsault and old vine Grenache from the Barossa Valley (with a little Mclaren Vale Cinsualt) aged 10 months in old barrels. This is a truly gorgeous rose/light red style displaying ripe and spicy red fruit, subtle herbs, blood orange/amaro and a refreshing acidity. Tim has nailed this - so good!
