WINEMAKER: Jean-Baptiste Courdesses
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Organic
Single vineyard Pinot Noir from Mount Bera certified organic & biodynamic block in Gumeracha, Adelaide Hills. Farmed by the expert hands of Greg Horner & Alessio Lopardo. The MV6 Pinot Noir tight bunches come from a steep North-East facing slope which actually see two soil types meet : A limestone on clay on the east & a Schist slate on clay to the west. Which give to the MV6 grapes all their perfumes & complexity.
Naturally hand-picked, the Pinot Noir underwent a 10 days long carbonic maceration before being foot stomped & genteelly punched down once a day for another 10 days before pressing toward the end of primary fermentation. Elevage in Bourgogne barrique for 9 months on fine lees. Bottled on site in our Basket Range winery without fining nor filtration.
After accumulating years of experience from various fermentation, farming & hospitality work around the world, Jean-Baptiste Courdesses started in 2019 to hand make wines exclusively from organically farmed grapes, focus on regenerative practices & made naturally without any additions, fining nor filtration but only grape juice. Our small scale winery is based in Basket Range, Adelaide Hills. We farm our vineyard according to a strict organic method & purchase fruits from like-minded trusty viticulturist to craft wines only from the highest quality grapes. Based on intuitive reaction & natural instincts decisions, our wines reflect the landscape & the character of the grape varieties only permitted by a farming respectful of the environment, the fauna & flora.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
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.
