The 2021 growing season and harvest were a complete turnaround from the hardships of 2020. It wasn’t without worries, as the return of the La Nina weather pattern brought back thoughts of 2011 and led to a wetter than average year. Thankfully, the rains were perfectly and evenly timed. The mild season avoided major heat spikes and produced healthy canopies and strong vines that ripened plentiful fruit. An exceptional vintage.
A colourful mix of pink and orange, Fever has a vibrant nose of red apple, lychee, citrus zest and berry. It has a bright palate with a juicy texture and a chalky white tannin grip.As the growing seasons change, so does Fever. Each year it is unique in vineyard makeup and varietal composition, influenced by natural elements and how we feel in the winery. Yet, it always looks like a Yarra Valley wine, crafted by us. Sitting under the umbrella of orange or skin contact wine, it is a blend of 4 different varieties that are each perfect reflections of their soils. Volume - 426 Cases
Arfion means “Our Wine” in Scottish Gaelic. After 10 years of making someone else’s wines, Dave Mackintosh thought it time to stomp his own grapes – to get a little closer to the land and the entire wine community. So in 2011, with his brother and father, he started Arfion - a small independent wine company where he’s free to take some risks and do things differently. Based in the Yarra Valley, Arfion creates thoughtful wines with minimal winemaking interference. Intuitive, evolving wine styles that reflect his interpretations of the vineyard soil. Single sites and small volumes. Fresh, textured and delicious.
Fever is a refreshing wine leaning more to an orange style, enjoy with grilled prawn and pineapple skewers for an afternoon treat.
