Skin Contact White
Wildly aromatic! Tropical in a good way. Yellow stone fruit fresh lemon acidity and subtle phenolics make this a very refreshing and quenching style of orange wine. Sometimes restraint can bring out the best in a wine and I feel this has been achieved here. Banger!

Powerful blend this year yet still fresh and palate cleansing. Loads of ripe lemon and yellow stone fruit that wraps around persistent saline acid. Touch of macerated Chardonnay adds to the mouth feel making it a perfect first glass to match perfectly with an oyster or two.

Alex and I have been mates a while now. I made my first wines in his shed and for a further 4 vintages thereafter. That first harvest we missed each other heaps! So we vowed to hang out more the following harvest. This sweet little thing helps us “stick” together.
We each make our own element taking portions of semi fermented grape juice and fortifying it. Once harvest settles down we blend each to produce a single barrel.

White Wine
Wow! All the wines are my heart and soul but this is my jam! Last of the cool wet years led to picking slightly earlier to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Extra elevage allowed the development of the mid palate and accentuated the chalky and crunchy oyster shell minerality that I absolutely adore. Oxygen was inhibited in this Chardonnay as opposed to the previous to compliment the site and vintage conditions. I love them both but they will satisfy different food matches and palates alike.

Red Wine
Cool, wet year meant picking this site a little earlier to maintain the fruit integrity. Less whole bunch than usual. The result is a bright ethereal expression. Wildly aromatic! The nose leaps out of the glass, red fruits - cherry, strawberry and rhubarb. Supple and plush on the palate with bright acidity.

Extended lees contact and ripeness results in a round and unctuous expression. Lemon to lemon pith, roasted nuts and toasted brioche. More than enough acid to compliment. Resolved and in a great drinking window.

Slant on orange wine here. Loves to be open/decanted. Sorry most preservative wines do. Effort yields fresh baked rhubarb danish and crystalline ginger on the finish.. Tannins are soft and delicate from both skins and white component from terracotta.
