The freedom of being small batch means he doesn’t have to fight against expectations of a region’s strengths or weaknesses and he can produce, for example, a nebbiolo rosé. The advantage of making Rosé from Italian varieties such as Nebbiolo, is that they come with plenty of tannin and crisp acidity.

The fruit comes from Great Southern, way down south in WA. The climate of the area allows the fruit to ripen with great flavour and excellent acid.

Skin contact, barrel fermented, off dry Riesling from Tassie! Yeah, I know that’s a lot to take in but I’ll tell you what, it works! To summarise the concept it’s all about fruit, texture and acid. The wines of tassie ripen for ages because it’s so cool and the result is fruit with great flavour and acid. The skin contact enhances the complexity of flavour giving notes of orange citrus while it also builds tannin and weight. Finally the fact it’s off dry, allows for a little residual sugar to make the flavour pop while also adding a glyceryl texture to the pallet. The acidity completes it and let’s it finish fresh and seemingly dry.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2018 Eastern Peake ‘Tache’ Pinot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEastern Peake is the family winery established by Owen Latta’s parents in 1985. They have been making Tache for about 20 years and it’s always been a nod to the great Roses of the Bandol in France. Tache means ‘stain’ and references the hint of colour that remains after the Pinot Noir is lightly pressed. The wine is aged on gross lees for 18 months before release and as a result is incredibly fresh but has broad mouthfeel to back it up.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2019 Dilworth and Allaine ‘Coup de Foudre’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe strike of lightning!
