Description
WINEMAKER: Jean-Baptiste Courdesses
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc
VITICULTURE: Organic
Old vine Sémillon nurtured organically by Fiona Wood in her own vineyard in Mc Laren Flat. The Vines grow just below a Fauna & Flora Reserve on a gentle slope facing straight south on deep sand over clay soil. The Semillon grapes were picked by hand & whole bunch pressed in our screw press for a gentle & phenolic pressing style. After pressing, the Semillon juice settled overnight and got racked clear off its gross lees to start a clean & steady fermentation in Stainless Steel.
The Sauvignon Blanc was hand picked about a month later from the later ripening organically farmed Magpie Spring vineyard which produce a really fragrant & balanced grappes on dark loam on clay soils. The Sauvignon Blanc underwent the same winemaking as the Semillon & the two got blended together after they both achieved alcoholic & malolactic fermentation. Elevage in stainless steel for 7 month & 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.

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.
