Description
WINEMAKER: Ryan O'Meara
REGION: Great Southern, WA
VARIETAL: Riesling, Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc
VITICULTURE: Organic
The 2022 orange is a single vineyard wine from a little organic site in Frankland River—it’s 80% Riesling and 15% Semillon with just a smidge of skin-contact Chenin and Sauvignon Blanc. Each parcel was hand-picked, then partially destemmed to open fermenters. A portion (20%) was foot stomped. All parcels fermented on skins and pressing took place after around six to eight days. Maturationwas in a combination of stainless steel, concrete and mature oak. The 2022 has distinctive characters of white blossom and fresh citrus juice with some chalky tannin.
Ryan O'Meara is one of the nicest guys in wine. He also makes some of our favourite wine. Ryan currently leases and manages four* small vineyards in the Mount Barker and Porongurup sub-regions of the Great Southern. Organic farming without irrigation, no synthetic chemicals, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, these wines are alive, expressive and just an absolute pleasure.
*I think he's up to seven or eight now? Can't stop, won't stop.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
