Nord-Sud - Eric Narioo and Anna Martens

Fuelled by the desire to spend more time with Anna’s family in Adelaide, Eric Narioo and Anna Martens decided to start a small wine project based in the Adelaide Hills, while continuing with “Vino di Anna” on Mt Etna. This new project, called “Nord-Sud” aims to reflect the coming together of the northern hemisphere; Eric’s heritage and the couple’s current family homes (London and Solicchiata) with the southern hemisphere; where Anna was raised and started her winemaking career back in the 1990’s.

The first vintage for NORD-SUD was 2023. Renting space in a friend’s winery in the Forest Range, Eric and Anna invested in clay vessels, used puncheons and stainless-steel tanks. Close friendships with like-minded wine producers and grape growers in the area, have enabled the couple to source small quantities of organic and biodynamically grown grapes from a range of sites in and across the Adelaide Hills. Grapes are hand harvested. Alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous, conducted by indigenous yeasts. The wines are made with minimal intervention and no chemicals or additives, other than small quantities of SO2, where deemed necessary. Bottled without fining and/or filtration.
Total production – 15,000 bottles.
