2024 Ochota Barrels Impeccable Disorder Pinot Noir
WINEMAKER: Amber Ochota
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Organic
A selected parcel of the most ethereally powerful pinot noir from the vintage. Darker, broodier with unusual intense rustic pinosity … gun powder and texture like southern ocean surf beach sand.
The label is from Taras’s punk band Kranktus’s first album... him strapped to a chair screaming with a tv strapped to his head ...normal stuff.
As with the spring release wines which sold out months ago, this set of wines was a indulgence of time. Given the early start and finish of harvest (the last parcels were pressed before the end of March) Amber, Lucas and Yari had extra time in the cellar to really learn where each barrel of wine was heading.
In Amber’s own words she had, “the luxury of time and peace to taste through the barrels over and over to make considered, relaxed decisions”. This is reflected in the wines, their ease and immediate drinkability, wanting warm sunny park-filled afternoons and fine dining dinners.
