Silent Noise is the new project of young Charlie O’Brien, son of famed McLaren Vale winemaker Kevin O’Brien of Kangarilla Road. Kevin is around to help source the fruit and consult on winemaking; but the distinctive name and branding is very much Charlie’s idea, contrasting the noise of winemaking - belts, crusher and presses - with the silence of the bottles waiting to be opened. Fruit sourced from the ultra low yielding, 35 year old vines of the Maslin Beach vineyard. Smoky, dark and brooding. This is a deeply perfumed elegant wine showing a multi layered nose of earthy beetroot, game, sweet citrus oil and a delicate hint of creme patisserie.
