Maiden vintage from organically grown grapes. Sustainable vineyard practices and thoughtful, minimal winemaking techniques are part of the quest to accurately and authentically express the very soul of a terroir ideally suited to Pinot Noir.

In The Cellar
Traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques, including a prolonged period of pre-fermentation cold-soak and spontaneous fermentation with no additions, and subsequent ageing in specially selected French oak barrels sourced exclusively from Burgundian coopers, comprised part of a gentle, minimalist, non-interventionist winemaking approach. In this way we have crafted a wine which we believe is the most authentic interpretation of our terroir to date, A terroir we believe ideally suited to Pinot noir. And no other cultivar can express the concept of “earth” more accurately than the King of Grapes.

In The Vineyard
This vin de terroir made from our maiden vintage of organic grapes grown on Ataraxia, represents the first fruits of a journey of conversion to organic principles that started 5 years ago. It forms part of our ongoing quest to discover the very soul of our terroir.
