    About The Wine

    Freshly baked vosges mountain cherry cake; the palate drive is from crunchy whole bunch natural acidity. Ochota trademark tightly wound fine tannins in a core of bright red berries. Succulent with the mid palate holding length and energy.

    Planted in 1985 in the heart of the Piccadilly valley. Hand-picked, wild open-ferment. Destemmed with whole bunches and a few handfuls of stalks added back gentle cap submersion by hand once a day for 7-10 days.

    Pressed to seasoned French barriques unfined and unfiltered. Minimal so2.


    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.
