- VHS (Vinous Heroin Society) is the winemaking project of the enigmatic Samuel Smith. Making a name for himself and VHS as a producer of extremely unique wines, the releases often include infusions of native flora, adding an extra dimension to these magnificent creations. In the case of Eighteen Views of Kuitpo Forest, this is a project based on the Japanese idea of Takumi: focused around perfecting every part of a given process and becoming a master over time. This Kuitpo (southern Adelaide Hills) Gewurtztraminer is an absolute stunner! Pungent aromatics (in a great way) let you know there's something special happening here. Stonefruit, citrus peel, spices- there's a lot going on and it's glorious! Sam explains more about the project here:
"Eighteen Views of Kuitpo Forest will focus purely on eighteen different iterations of our beloved single vineyard Gewurztraminer over the course of many vintages, with a central focus on embracing vintage variation(s) and highlighting, at-times, the human influence on terroir." - Samuel Smith
