Smallfry 2023 Barossa White

Tasting Notes

Smallfry’s 2023 Barossa White shows the winery’s signature blend‑driven approach, built around organically farmed Mediterranean varietals that thrive in the warm Barossa climate. The wine typically incorporates Semillon, Riesling, and Viognier with small supporting roles from Verdelho and Clairette, creating a bright, textural white that balances aromatic lift with a supple, lightly waxy palate. The 2023 opens with scents of lemon blossom, white peach, lime zest, and fresh herbs, layered with hints of honeysuckle and subtle stone‑fruit richness from the Viognier component. On the palate it is lively and medium‑bodied, with Riesling’s citrus‑driven acidity giving shape to Semillon’s gentle roundness, finishing clean and mineral with a faint saline snap that keeps the wine refreshing despite its aromatic generosity. Ideal food pairings include grilled prawns, Thai or Vietnamese dishes with lemongrass and basil, roast chicken with citrus, soft cheeses like chèvre, Mediterranean mezze, and lightly spiced vegetable dishes, all of which echo the wine’s interplay of brightness and texture.
