All my wines are handcrafted, small batch, and made with care. The fruit comes from a selection of growers and vineyards I work closely with. There are no hard and fast rules in my winemaking, but I enjoy working with wild fermentations, embracing the texture and complexity that lees contribute, and following a “less is more” approach, keeping intervention minimal and only when necessary. The result is fresh, vibrant wines that respect the fruit, have plenty of complexity, and, most importantly, are a pleasure to drink.
2025 Pinot Noir
Fruit Origin: Cradle Coast, Tasmania
Clones: 114, 777, D2v6, G8v7
Alcohol: 14.3%
Yeast: Wild
10% whole bunch, with cold soak before wild fermentation. Hand-plunged twice daily and pressed at dryness. Wild malolactic fermentation, aged in 33% new french oak for 10 months. No fining or filtration.
Tasting Notes:
Bright garnet with a youthful purple hue. Highly aromatic, with sour cherry, blood plum and mulberry leading into hints of liquorice, cracked pepper and cinnamon. Fresh and vivacious on the palate, with a juicy red fruited core and energetic drive. A warm, spicy finish is framed by soft, fine tannins.
2025 Chardonnay
Fruit Origin: Cradle Coast (70%) & Jordan Valley (30%), Tasmania
Clones: 95, 76, i10v1 & Mendoza
Alcohol: 13.2%
Malic Acid: 1.95 g/L
Yeast: Wild
Handpicked and gently pressed with full solids and pressings included, then aged on lees and stirred occasionally. Fermented and matured in 33% new French oak. No fining.
Tasting Notes: Pale gold in colour. Yellow peach, pear and lemon pith layered with fresh cream, wet slate, and almond. Rich and generous, with a soft texture balanced by a clean, fresh finish. Mineral drive and subtle oak spice linger on the palate, while extended lees work adds texture and width, supported by fine, balanced phenolics.
2025 Riesling
Fruit Origin: Cradle Coast
Residual Sugar: 4.75 g/L
Alcohol: 11.6%
Yeast: Wild
Lightly pressed, racked to high turbidity, and wild fermented in neutral barrels. Aged on lees in barrel for 9 months with occasional stirring. Unfined.
Tasting Notes: Meyer lemon pulp, white grapefruit and citrus blossom layered over white nectarine and white peach. Exotic notes of kaffir lime, cardamom and fresh ginger. Taut and energetic palate, driven by vibrant, singing acidity. A delicate texture gently wraps around the fierce acid line, with a subtle touch of residual sugar that adds a hint of volume and generosity without any perception of sweetness.
