About The Wine
Enticing aromas of spiced compote with delicate herbal notes. The palate follows medium weighted with a fine texture, reminiscent of pinot noir, notes of Nordic spring fruit.
Grown organically since 1946 on red clay with ironstone over deep limestone and schist. About 25% whole bunch, fermented on skins for 12 days before basket pressing to seasoned French oak.
About Ochota Barrels
In the Adelaide Hills, Ochota Barrels creates wines that honor the memory of founder Taras Ochota, continuing his vision under the stewardship of Amber, Yari, and Louis.
These are wines born of intuition - grapes picked when they're irresistibly delicious, guided by natural acidity and wild fermentation. Old bush vines in living soil produce concentrated fruit that speaks for itself through minimal intervention winemaking.
Following Occam's Razor, they believe simplicity reveals truth. The result: gorgeous, authentic wines with none of the nasties and all of the love—a celebration of place, season, and the human spirit that tends the vines.
