And breathe…
December 14, 2020
After 12 months in barrel and a luxurious 18 months in bottle, our 2018 Pinot noir is ready to make its debut, and just in time for the season.
MoreWe’re very excited to finally be able to welcome you back to our place with our new, COVID-safe cellar door experience. We’re now taking bookings for a seat at our new vineyard bar where Neil and I will pour our wines to small groups of interested folk and tell you all about how we farm them.
This won’t be the sort of tasting where we sniff and swirl and whisper meaningfully about weeping violets and under-ripe hedgehogs. We want to take the opportunity of having you on our farm, drinking our wine as you overlook the vines that produced it, to share with you some of the things that matter to us most. Like plants and soil and microbes and how growing delicious things and doing our bit to regenerate our land go hand in hand. About biodynamic farming and why we reckon it’s the most elegant farming system around. And about how, as consumers, we all have a crucial role to play in supporting those farmers who are making the best decisions for their customers and our planet.

In 2014, having fallen for the region in general and the potential of its grapes in particular, we took the biggest plunge so far.

Good soil, eight thousand vines, a great big shed and lots of bedrooms to fill.
MoreGreat wine is the sum of hundreds of decisions from vineyard to bottle. As the ‘maker’ all I do is try to make the best decision I can at any particular point in time.
MoreThe worker’s cottage on the property is available for short stays. Bring some friends, check out the region and its spoils and soak up The Wine Farm.

MoreThere’s an important movement happening in our region that we want you to know about. The Prom Coast Food Collective is supporting ethical family businesses and farming practices that are good for the planet. And we’ve jumped on board.
MoreHearty winter fare means gutsy cabs or at least a fruit forward pinot, surely?
I beg to differ.
The sixth on our farm and, while no two vintages have been the same, this one was right off the charts. Read our notes from what was a wacky ride in the world of wine.
