Ochota Barrels

Working with organically farmed vineyards across the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale, the Ochota family focuses on fruit picked at natural balance: when the grapes taste so good in the vineyard you can’t stop eating them. Wild fermentations and gentle handling allow the wines to evolve with minimal interference, keeping the character of each site front and centre.

The results are natural wines that hum with energy and texture: bright natural acidity, nervy tension and a sense of place that feels both vivid and effortless in the glass.
