Our Vineyard
Harcourt North, Central Victoria.
Granite Country
Harcourt North is defined by weathered granite, red clay and the exposed northern face of Mount Alexander. The wines hold that line: savoury, mineral and never overworked.
The site
The vineyard sits at approx 500m ASL and is one of the highest (and probably coolest) vineyards in the Bendigo GI. The vineyard soils are composed of granitic slabs and boulders, interspersed with sandy decomposed granite. We have been farming this vineyard ourselves for a few years now, using organic practices.
Low intervention
Farming
We farm for balanced canopies, clean fruit and soil life. Picking decisions are made by taste, seed, weather and the shape of acidity rather than numbers alone.
This vineyard produces driven, tight, mineral cool climate shiraz, and we are excited to be its custodians for the future.
Trutta
The Creek
The fishing metaphor is not decoration. It is a working rhythm: observe first, move only when needed, and let the place tell you what kind of cast to make.
Wine, like water, punishes impatience.
