About The Wine

"A collective ferment of most of the white grapes we grow. First Sauvignon Blanc is picked and crushed by foot then pressed a handful of days later. Pinot Gris is then destemmed into this orange-y Sauvignon juice with Savagnin and Chardonnay skins joining the ferment. Together for about ten days, the grapes are then pressed off to old barrels and clay eggs. Wood to allow the fine tannin to develop, clay for the round lusciousness. The texture is velvety and succulent like a peach - delicious!" - Monique, Manon Farms

About Manon 

Tim and Monique have spent the past decade transforming their slice of Peramangk land into a thriving regenerative ecosystem at Manon Farm. What began as a conventional vineyard has evolved into something far more profound under their stewardship—a living demonstration of what's possible when winemaking aligns with ecological principles. They've meticulously removed all artificial irrigation and fertigation systems, retrained 35-year-old vines to flourish on nature's rhythms alone, and created a biodiverse haven where native bees have returned, heritage orchards flourish, and kangaroos graze harmoniously across their rocky ridge. Their approach extends beyond the vineyard into carefully tended gardens for medicine and food, while their commitment to soil health has produced countless batches of energized compost and herbal fermentations that feed the earth beneath their feet.

Every wine from Manon Farm carries the literal fingerprints of its makers—Tim and Monique handle each bottle from vine to cellar door with unwavering dedication to hand-crafted authenticity.

They prune, tend, harvest, and stomp their grapes by foot before moving the wine by gravity alone, refusing to compromise their vision with industrial shortcuts. This intimate scale allows them to create wines that truly express each season's story, whether navigating the wettest years on record or adapting to unprecedented drought.

While raising two nature-loving boys alongside their collection of chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats, they've proven that exceptional winemaking isn't just about technique—it's about creating a complete way of life that honours both the land and the wines it produces.
