A very complex blend, skillfully handled through a combination of old and new world winemaking techniques to ensure that the distinct aromas and flavours of the individual varietals were preserved. Following a meticulous selection of fruit from unique sites, the winemakers at Starvedog Lane were inspired to release a wine that defines the hallmarks of emerging varieties in Australia. With access to premium Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Sangiovese fruit from good vineyards in McLaren Vale, the 2005 Starvedog Lane Ibrido was created.
Ibrido is Italian for hybrid, in this case a constructive, progressive persona that always sees the bottle half full! Nebbiolo brings a quenching acidityto this wine, as well as lending rich aromas of plums, dried roses and liquorice. Sangiovese adds a feminine touch, with a fragrant hint of black morello cherries on the palate. To ensure that the characters derived in the vineyard were preserved, each small parcel of fruit was kept separate right up until blending. The combination of Adelaide Hills Mediterranean climate, meticulous site selection and free draining soils of the source vineyards, have made a wine of opulence and style, the persona of each and every varietal is well represented in the finshed cuvee. Alcohol 14.14.
TASTING NOTES
Fresh, lifted characters of dark plum and black morello cherries fill the nose, with underlying savoury aromas of bay leaf, leather and tar. The palate displays the bright, expressive fruit characters of sour cherry, dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. The flavour is long and balanced by distinct, biscuity textured tannins and a focused acid backbone. Tempranillo, the lusty spaniard, gives the wine its spine and depth of colour. Barbera gives the wine manners with soft tannins, high acidity, spice and a deep ruby colour. Shiraz, meanwhile, provides the french style, adding weight, length and texture as well as plum, dark chocolate and roasted coffee characters.
 Starvedog Lane
Unlike many wineries, the history of Starvedog Lane isn’t linked to some long dead legendary winemaker who was the son of someone rich or famous
There are no tales of bravery and courage, and no triumph of the pioneering human spirit. Of suffering and loss, but ultimate victory in the face of adversity all in the interest of bringing you a great drop of wine. Nope. Just a name that comes from some old story about a hungry dog and some German settlers and a bunch of winemakers who are pretty fanatical about what they do. So what Starvedog Lane lack in a colourful and eventful history, they more than make up for with some sensational wines. And at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about, right? Starvedog Lane»
