About The Wine
This cheekily named wine is 95% Pinot Gris with a kiss of Gamay to add depth and oomph. The fruit was simply pressed as bunches to ceramic egg for fermentation and maturation.
Anton’s Notes: Eyes are enchanted, the evening light envelops pink over clouds. The tension as day becomes night as the exiting to the two worlds collide. This moment bottled for your pleasure.
About Lucy M
When we think of natural wine in Australia, one of the first names that comes to mind is Anton van Klopper – and for good reason. Operating from a relatively small estate in Basket Range, South Australia, Anton meticulously tends to his 14-hectare organic farm, which is home to four hectares of vines and a hectare of vegetables in Basket Range, plus a leased four hectares nearby in Totness.
Anton crafts wines renowned for their complexity, raw authenticity, and uncompromising character. And that's just how we like them!
Anton approaches winemaking exactly as you'd hope: the antithesis to mass production. His philosophy encompasses every stage of the process - from organic farming and meticulous land stewardship to hand-harvesting fruit, wild yeast fermentation, and zero additives. His commitment to purity extends even to distilling his own alcohol for winery cleaning, eliminating any need for harsh chemicals throughout the entire operation.
