Fingers crossed we’ve found our longer term forever Hill Chardy sites based in Balhannah at site elevation of 340m. 50% 76 clone, 50% 95 clone on sandstone, siltstone and shale soils with organic practices.

Fruit handpicked and direct pressed. Cold settled, racked to 3rd and 4th use puncheons for barrel fermentation. Lees stirring at times but fruit showed floral and delicate notes so we didn’t want to disrupt the balance too much. Lees maturation 11 months before bottling unfined and unfiltered. Wild fermented with zero adds apart from minimal SO2 on bottling.

Cashew nut meets nectarine aromats, lush and full stone fruit, orange peel zest... driving Adelaide Hills acidity.
Eat cheese, rich cheese, fat fleshy fish and roast chicken.

About the Winemaker
Spending the last 15 years abroad and interstate, Sven decided to ditch his life as a Chartered Accountant and come back home to South Australia. Swapping the Casio and spreadsheets for his ultimate calling of wine, at least he can now claim market research when enjoying some plonk!

Guided by 'Schwatta' and Shelly from Biscay Rd in Tanunda, and inspired by his experience making wine in Jura, France, the mission has been simple from the get go - make it delicious, work your backside off, do it with love and most importantly, let nature do the talking.
