Alkina

Alkina is a relatively new player in Barossa with some very serious international credentials. The project is part of Alejandro Bulgheroni’s wine empire, which includes Argentina’s Argento, California’s Renwood, Chianti Classico’s Dievole, Montalcino’s Podere Brizio and Bordeaux’s Château Suau. It is a single 60-hectare property in Greenock with old vines and new plantings. Consulting winemaker Alberto Antonini and Chilean terroir specialist Dr. Pedro Parra are also involved - a dream team with the highest aspirations. Parra closely mapped the property using over 160 soil pits with some wines crafted from tiny plots, as small as 0.1 hectares. Retro-modern winemaking relies on tulip-shaped concrete fermenters, clay amphorae and qvevri, concrete eggs with only a little large and older oak. The wines are unique. It will be fascinating to chart Alkina’s journey over the next decade and beyond.
