Crafting lighter examples of typically bolder Barossa Valley varieties. Experimenting with harvest times and vineyard practices to create energetic stylistic wines. We aim for drinkability, terroir focused, single vineyard, expressive wines. Having not worked in a commercial winery we can craft unique expressions with an unbiased view. Ultimately finding the balance between science and creation to develop sound, energetic wines with character. Harvests lie around the balance of fruit concentration and acid to maintain a low impact minimal intervention style of winemaking. Utilising whole bunches, small ferments of varying vessels to create textures and layers to our wines. Striving to create wines in-line with our lifestyle with sustainability & staying healthy. We tend to two small blocks, one North of Lyndoch, one West of Nuriootpa, both of which are farmed via organic practices. We are also fortunate enough to work with some passionate growers in the region that share our values.
