Natural Wine starts for us in the vineyard, with attentive and sustainable farming methods and continues into the winemaking process; using fewer tools and no additives but a lot of attention to detail, patience, knowledge and creativity. Youth and freshness are to shine through, forming wine that is wild, vigorous, full of life and fun to drink. Our grapes are sourced from around the Adelaide Hills with the exception of a Shiraz we found and fell in love with in Sellicks Hill, Mclaren Vale. All of our fruit is coming from vineyards which are managed by sustainable farming practices that would be eligible for NASAA certification. As of 2019 only one of the vineyards we work with is certified organic but certification is something we strive for and are exploring with the other growers. The only treatments in the vineyard are copper, sulfur, ecocarb, seasol etc, according with NASAA guidelines. Undervine/mid row weed management is mechanical. All the vineyards I work with are certified organic and grapes are harvested by hand.
In the cellar, we only use grapes. Fermentation and vinification using indigenous yeasts, with no inputs, no sulfur, no flash pasteurization, no fining, no filtration, no invasive practices or physical processes (reverse osmosis, acidification, etc.). No additives of any kind at all are used. No pumps, just gravity. Elevage is done in old french oak. All winemaking, including bottling, happens at our winery. We choose natural cork as a closure and crown seal for fizzy wines (pet-nat).
