You just don’t do a “half mullet” – you have to be all in. The mullet, like skin contact white wines, has been around for millennia. Things never go out of fashion, they just get re-discovered… it’s a cycle, see?

The Buddhists talk of Samsãra, the endless cycle of birth, life and death, but the guys at Alpha Box & Dice know that to reach true enlightenment you need to grow that shaved head out, keep it short on top, grow out the back and rejoice in the pithy textures and heady perfumes of skin-contact white wine.

This Australian white wine has notes of reserved lemon, curry leaf, nectarines and hints of marmalade on the nose. This is all complimented by racey acidity with chalky tannins and a real mouthwatering finish.

Wonderful with Morroccan chicken, seafood and blue cheese.

Australia

In 1873 French judges, tasting blind, praised wines from Australia, but withdrew when the provenance was revealed, saying that wines of that quality must clearly be French. Vines have been grown successfully in Australia since the 1820s as European settlers realised that the Mediterranean climate was ideal for viticulture.
