Turkey Flat Semillon/Marsanne 2005
Turkey Flat is the local name for the vineyard property and it is believed to have been named by the original settlers in the late 1840’s after the large flocks of native bush turkeys (Australian Bustard) in the area. German Settler Johann Fiedler planted vines on the property back in 1847. The Schulz family purchased the property shortly thereafter and have maintained the vines for over 100 years.
A 4th generation Schulz, Peter and his wife Christie have moved from exclusively growing grapes to winemaking. Here in the heart of Barossa, the two are producing world class, highly acclaimed wines from their ancient vines.
A blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Marsanne, the nose is floral and enticing with notes of honeysuckle, lime zest and minerals. The palate is rich and complex and reaffirms all that the bouquet promises.
