Fragrant, silky Pinot Noir with savoury depth

Hochkirch’s Village Pinot Noir comes from close-planted, unirrigated and own-rooted vines growing at 250 metres on red-brown basalt loam over stony gravel. The vineyard’s northerly aspect helps the fruit ripen slowly in Henty’s cool climate, building flavour and complexity while preserving freshness.

The fruit was hand-harvested and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts in open vats, with regular hand plunging and no additions. After around 15 months, largely in seasoned French oak, the wine was bottled unfiltered by gravity.

Dark cherry, florals and dried herbs rise from the glass, joined by subtle earth and cool mint. The palate is silky and quietly powerful, combining generous fruit with fine, silty tannins and precise structure. Savoury complexity builds through the wine, carrying into a long, lingering finish.

Why we love it

Fragrant and beautifully composed, with silky dark fruit, fine tannins and the earthy, savoury character of cool-climate Henty Pinot Noir.

About the Winemaker
John and Jennifer Nagorcka are among Australia’s quiet pioneers of biodynamic winegrowing. At Hochkirch, in the cool reaches of Victoria’s Henty region, the family farms ten hectares of vines as part of a diverse 280-hectare agricultural property. Established by John in 1990 and biodynamically certified since 2003, the vineyards are now managed by his son Christian. The own-rooted vines grow without irrigation on gravelly loam over deep clay and weathered basalt, with every task completed by hand.

Everything at Hochkirch begins with farming. Earlier harvesting preserves acidity, fragrance and finesse, while natural fermentation, older oak and low or no sulphur allow the vineyard to speak clearly. The resulting wines are vibrant, savoury and deeply textural, shaped by Henty’s cool winds and basalt-rich soils rather than cellar technique. Authentic and fearlessly individual, they reflect generations of practical observation, thoughtful stewardship and a profound connection to the land.
