VIA ~ VINUM IN AMPHORAE ~ UNEARTHED DOWN UNDER

Discover an Aussie winemaking renaissance, bringing chic antiquity to your table

MELBOURNE VICTORIA : JUNE THURSDAY 18th 2020

Vinum In Amphorae (VIA) is an off~leash enterprise embracing the 8000 year old tradition of evolving
wine within handmade terracotta urns, and championing the return of skin contact maturation. Small parcels of premium alternate grape varietals are hand picked from select vines by avant garde
growers, and patiently nurtured with minimal interference. The result is authentic wine of purity and pronounced varietal character, that you’ll be chuffed to flaunt with family and friends.

The inaugural release, VIA Venezia 2018, showcases a distinctive Italian Pinot Grigio Romato, nurtured in Italian amphorae with notes of peach, crunchy apple, ripe pear and nectarine; partnering seamlessly with classic Italian cuisine and time-honoured Tarelli biscuits. “What really impresses about this wine is its texture. Slinky as you like, it slides over the palate with a perfect velocity to mouthfeel ratio. It finishes pure, dry and delicious.” said Dave Brooks, Adelaide Review. It’s trademark copper hue is a tip of the hat to old Aussie currency, and iconically coined the Australian ‘Penny Grigio’. Duly, each bottle boasts a hand pressed terracotta coin collar, celebrating the synergy of heritage.

Just unearthed is VIA La Mora Saperavi 2018, matured with extended skin contact in handcrafted Georgian qvevri vessels buried within the ground, in true ‘down under’ style. Flaunting sexy swagger in every glass, VIA wines make an aspiring addition to your table, the muse of your next celebration, and a compelling identity in your cellar. These are today’s lo-fi styles to covet, heralding a new industry touchstone.

VIA manifests the return to primordial winemaking, that empowers the grape’s natural expression and imparts a sense of place. VIA’s wines are currently available in limited release online at www.vinuminamphorae.com.au – see our site for select stockists.
