    About The Wine

    A blend of 114 / 115 / MV6 / D5V12 clones from Sam Vigara in Piccadilly and, since 2024, clone 777 from the ’Taras’ block grown by long time cellar hand and friend Laurence Scanlon. Hand picked and fermented in small open top fermenters before being hand basket pressed to seasoned French barrels.

    A strikingly floral nose of gently crushed petals, the palate follows with the compact and textural notes of red currants and forest floor. A wine that, once opened, will continue to evolve and unwind for days.


    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.
