Ochota Barrels From The North Barossa Mourvedre, 2020, 750ML

Taras Ochota settled in Australia with his wife Amber after studying Oenology and travelling the world's vineyards to learn everything he could from other winemakers. Back home he adopted a holistic approach influenced by small biodynamic producers and therefore the grapes are grown organically on old bush wines, grape picking decisions "made purely on natural acidity" and a particular focus on the wine's texture.

100% whole bunch Barossa Mourvedre planted on sand in 1869, Very low yield and bio-dynamically farmed (certified)

The must is soaked at low temperature for about 5 days, and fermented with wild yeast. Followed by carbonic maceration for 8 days on skins and stalks. The wine is than pressed and matured in French barrels for 3 months, light SO2 addition during bottling.
