SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING
SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING
Smokestack Lightning is an early 50’s Delta Blues track originally played by Howlin’ Wolf.
It’s an edgy song and genre that uses minimal input to create raw expressions. Generally, just a guitar and a voice.
We like this kind of creativity. It’s easy to understand, transparent and endearing. We are inspired by it and would love to emulate the footsteps of these characters.
Our Smokestack Lightning wines explore white skin contact fermentation (orange wine) from grapes grown on stunning Yarra Valley soils.
Sympathetically, they walk a tightrope between raw vineyard expressions, vintage and style.
