2024 Devil's Kitchen Pinot Noir

$55.00

- +

We have planted, grafted and replaced Pinot Noir vines for many years. As such, the vineyard looks something like the ‘Devil’s Kitchen’ – a true mix of character and complexity.

Hand picked and 100% destemmed for whole berry fermentation. The fruit was hand plunged twice a day before being pressed off at the end of ferment. The wine underwent MLF & lees aging in 1 to 3-year old French oak and was barrel aged for 8 months.

2024 Paperwasp Chardonnay

‘The Dance of the Paper Wasp’ is familiar to many a backpacker during harvest in this vineyard. These wasps love to nest in the canopy of our vines at the exact time of hand harvesting.

Hand picked and partially whole bunch pressed. The juice was transferred to barrels for a mix of wild and cultured yeast fermentation. The wine was barrel aged in 10% new French oak and 90% 1 to 6-year old French oak, with 15% undergoing MLF. Over the 8 months in barrel the wine underwent monthly lees stirring.
