This is the outlier in the Ochota Barrels range. The only wine Taras is not allowed to touch. This is Amber Ochota's baby.
When the family Doctor asked Taras if he would like the fruit from his home vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, Taras jumped at the chance. The Pinot vineyard is about the size of a tennis court, not much fruit, not much margin for error.
Amber took this as her project and makes the wine the way she wants too.
The family pick the fruit in two hours. She ferments it as 100% whole bunches with no interference except the occasional curious eye and nose.
Bottled with a whisper of sulphur and not much else, it's a pure and flighty version of Pinot Noir which is set to make you wistfully think of home.
Only 308 bottles made.
