Description
We are proud of being among the first natural winemakers in Australia with the first vintage in 2007 and now to have achieved making wines that are chemical free. But our commitment to human health has led us to trying to make wines with lowers alcohols by picking early and changing of winemaking techniques because we feel that a wine at 11.5-12% or lower is better for you and more enjoyable socially. In the last couple of years we have worked on reducing VA, mousiness and lacticobacillis fermentation in bottle, common challenges in making natural wine. Making natural wines that are sound is an art and a skill but there is no better wine to drink!"

The syrah is 100% whole bunch carbonic fermented for 5 days, then pressed to aged in in old 500L oak barrels. pressed and it completes ferment and is aged in 500L barrels. The thing about this spring pinot is its just so damn pretty and radiant, the crimson glow she radiates is alluring! Dark ruby lusciousness holds bunches of rhubarb, cinnamon barks with cherry blossoms dancing like fairies on the morning spring tide. The well-structured palate lets you know she is no child and her mature romantic sinister play leaves a serious subtle tannin bed.
