Hochkirch

The 20-acre family vineyard forms part of a larger 700-acre Demeter-certified biodynamic farm in Tarrington, South-west Victoria. Planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling, dry-grown, hand-pruned and hand-harvested, the vines thrive without shortcuts, producing wines that speak clearly of place, season, and soil.

In the cellar, intervention is kept to a minimum. The result is wines of depth and texture, marked by Hochkirch’s signature earth-driven intensity and quiet confidence.

Why We Love These Wines

  • One of Australia’s pioneering biodynamic producers
  • Deeply expressive, site-driven wines with intent
  • Farming & winemaking guided by restraint, not trends

Frequently asked questions about Hochkirch

What makes Hochkirch wines special?

Hochkirch wines are selected for their quality, personality and sense of place. We focus on producers whose wines feel distinctive, carefully made and genuinely enjoyable to drink.

How are these wines made?

Hochkirch follows a thoughtful, low-intervention approach to winemaking. The focus is on healthy vineyards, careful farming, hand-harvested fruit, wild yeast fermentations and avoiding unnecessary additions or manipulation in the winery. Rather than chasing a particular style, the aim is to produce wines that honestly reflect the vineyard, the season and the winemaker's intent.

Which Hochkirch wine should I start with?

If you're new to Hochkirch, start with the bottle that best matches the style you already enjoy. If you're unsure, get in touch and we'll happily point you toward the best place to begin.

Are these wines good for gifting?

Absolutely. Hochkirch makes an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys discovering thoughtful, small-batch wines. Add a greeting card at checkout and we'll make sure no pricing information is included in the parcel.

How should I store and serve these wines?

Store bottles somewhere cool, dark and stable. Serve whites, sparkling and lighter reds chilled, and give fuller reds a gentle cool-down rather than serving them too warm.

Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes. We ship Australia-wide, with free delivery on orders over $149. Most orders arrive within 5 business days.
