A lot of new producers out there doing something different...they're going against the grain and doing what they want...
I'm actually finding that a lot of them, for whatever reason, are in Adelaide Hills but really, they're coming up from all over and it is a really an exciting time for Australian wine.
I'll try to cover some of these wines in the near future if I ever get around to it but for now here's a list of some of the ones I think are really riding that edge...Let me know if I'm missing some :).
Ochota Barrels
BK Wines
Brash Higgins
CRFT
Marius
Ruggabellus
Alex Byrne
Lethbridge
Marq
Yelland and Papps
Between Five Bells
Born and Raised
Adelina
These Young Punks
Woods Crampton
A.Retief
I'm sure there are a bunch of others but these are the ones standing out in my mind (right now). Higher acid, extended skin contact, oak when the wine might not normally be used in oak...extra time on leeds...just a lot of different yet not so different things to try to change people's perception about Australian wine or even just to make something they want to drink..either way, interesting stuff that will really make you take notice..
