Summary: Wild Folk - the natural choice in wine - are pure expressions of the variety and the  vineyard. Minimal intervention in the winery ensures a joyful glass of just what mother nature  intended. Wild yeast fermented, no additions, vegan Friendly, preservative free, unfined  and unfiltered nothing but fermented grapes at their finest. 

Winemaking: A less is more regime in the vineyard and the winery has resulted in a fresher more  uncompromising wine stylistically. The 2022 is crushed and hard pressed, then wild fermented on  oak with full solids. Stirred fortnightly until bottling in July.   

Vintage 2023: A cooler and wetter spring slowed the start of vintage in 2023. Coolness was a signature of the year putting some pressure on many vineyards and yields. The individual site for Wild Folk wines here in the Yarra valley needed to take precautions and act decisively during the growing period to ensure disease pressure was well-managed and berries could achieve full flavour and phenolic ripeness. The resultant wines from these very best sites are bright and flavour-filled & will drink superbly in their youth.

Tasting Note: Yarra Chardonnay goes natural, made with premium fruit and integrated older oak. Vibrant nose with citrus, apple, and biscuit notes complemented by subtle cashew and grilled nuts. A creamy palate showing good length and lovely line with crisp acidity. A great expression of modern Yarra Valley Chardonnay. Pair with a classic roast chicken.

Summary: Wild Folk - the natural choice in wine - are pure expressions of the variety and the vineyard. Minimal intervention in the winery ensures a joyful glass of just what mother nature intended. Wild yeast fermented, no additions, vegan friendly, preservative free, unfined and unfiltered, nothing but fermented grapes at their finest.

Winemaking: A less is more regime in the vineyard and the winery has resulted in a fresher more uncompromising wine stylistically. Handpicked and sorted and then added to open fermenters before undergoing plunging. Consigned to stainless steel after fermentation this wine was bottled shortly after with little additions and was neither fined nor filtered.

Vintage 2022: An outstanding year for the Vale, both from a balanced yield level and wine quality.  The climatic conditions were cool to warm with no real heat wave impacts. The season was delayed  with a cool, dry summer but was rescued with a long Indian style summer well into Autumn. This  resulted in slow ripening and optimum flavour development. Sugar, tannin, and flavours all tracked  together in development resulting in high quality wines being produced. 

Tasting Note: McLaren Vale and Sicily share many of the same climatic similarities which is why  this Italian variety thrives in the region. This is instantly drinkable with a soft, approachable  roundness to the palate. There’s red berry fruit complemented by earthy savoury notes and a gentle  grip on the finish. Nero’s natural high acidity makes it a no brainer for pasta with a meaty ragu.

Vintage 2023:The Barossa had a cooler and wetter Winter and Spring leading into the growing and harvest seasons. The vintage started later as a result and also finished later after a longer, cooler growing period. The wines in the best sites did develop to full flavour ripeness and show a real brightness and array of beautifully complexing flavours often not seen in the much warmer years.

Tasting Note: This is such an honest expression of Shiraz from the Barossa exhibiting both freshness and flavour. It combines dark berries, spice and a soft, plush generosity of fruit flavour and fine tannins that make for a very satisfying glass of wine. Drink over the next two years with your favourite charcuterie or something char-grilled on the barbecue.
