Poppelvej Øst Riesling 2022

History of the Producer:

Uffe Deichmann moved from Denmark to McLaren Vale, Australia, in late 2015 and started the Poppelvej project, with the first harvest in February 2016. Poppelvej {pronounced pop – el – vei} is the name of the street in Denmark where he grew up. The winery, from 2016 until a few years ago, was itinerant. Uffe and his friends made wine in old sheds, underground bunkers and sometimes simply in the shade of a tree. At the end of 2021, Poppelvej found a permanent home and settled in a purpose-built place for wine production.

Poppelvej’s philosophy has always been the same: to make wine that reflects European heart and Australian curiosity, to make wine from grapes grown in a way that leaves the planet in good condition for future generations, and to make wine as naturally as possible without making it dogma. Everything is fermented spontaneously, and the only additions that are used are a small amount of sulfur and a great deal of love and attention.
