Taras and Amber Ochota are passionate about Pinot, and this is another excellent release of 'A Forest'.
Taras has approached this wine differently in the last couple of releases - going for a more hands-off and gentle winemaking approach. It's untouched and even more hands-off than what he is usually comfortable with. It's wild fermented, hand-plunged with 85% whole bunches, basket-pressed into seasoned French barriques.
It's unfined and unfiltered with next-to-no sulphur added.
This is an untamed, alluring Pinot full of complexity and intrigue. Not your typical Hills Pinot and absolutely worth trying!
