Fresh Spring Wines!

The Other Right 2023 Spring Release

Hello friends! Happy Spring!!

6 months since our Autumn release have gone by fast, and here we are with our first offerings from the 2023 vintage!

The vintage was slow and lasted what seemed like forever, but, that resulted in great things happening at the winery.

Due to the longer ripening time, the wines are full of flavour, ending with alcohols that are generally very low, which we do see as a bonus.

Ernst’s Shiraz from Sellicks Hill is now NASAA Certified Organic, and Lansdowne Vineyard is the next project. We are very excited about going down this path and will keep you all updated with the process.

As with Sellicks Hill, in all of our vineyards the farming is done according to organic principles. It involved additional work and thoughtful planning in the wet season that we’ve had, but it's an approach we are gladly committing to. As part of this goal to sustainability and the highest fruit quality, we are working with lower yields and therefore, smaller cuvées, but we are beyond happy with how the wines turned out.

As in previous releases, our wines are made from 100% grapes and nothing else.

Find all details of the new wines here.

As always, thanks so much for the support!

With love,

Alex & Galit

Autumn 2023 release

Hello friends!

Vintage 2023 is done and boy, that was a long one. Burgundian, as they say. Rainy and cold in a supposedly hot and arid country. We’re sure El Niño will strike back soon, but in the meantime, things took a while to ripen, the weather kept challenging us, but the good news is that the fruit looks beautiful!

Since a few years ago our primary winemaking goal has been to balance drinkability and stability, finesse and precision, but the ultimate goal remained the same: bringing excitement, curiosity and joy. We strongly believe these wines will deliver exactly that.

Smaller-than-usual quantities, but a few wines to choose from!

This time we have an oxidative Chardonnay in addition to the usual autumnal suspects.

Our Autumn release are all single vineyard wines, meant to amplify the vineyards and the vintage, our most refined bunch.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support!

2022 Spring wines!

Greetings friends!
We hope everyone is doing well and holding on despite what the world keeps throwing at us. Hopefully our little wines can bring you all some joy this spring!

Some vineyards news - although all the vineyards we work with are managed organically, we are inching towards having them certified, for the sake of transparency. Ernst's vineyard in Sellicks Hill is certified "in conversion", and the upcoming vintage 2023 will be fully NASAA certified. We've started working with another Chardonnay vineyard in Forreston, Adelaide Hills, which is showing a great promise. We can't wait to share the resulting wines with you! And the Sparrows vineyard from Mt. Torrens is as beautiful as ever! 

Winemaking - we're striving to keep it simple, as always. Walking the narrow line of fun and fine. Or, precise but still fun.  Boy is that narrow!

2022 vintage wasn't as plentiful as 2021, so there is a bit less wine to go around, but, as always, we will make every effort to look after everyone. Alex will be showing wine in Adelaide and Melbourne - get in touch if you'd like him to swing past and pour you a taste!

There will be trade tastings! 
SA: Monday, 7/11 (TODAY!) 3-6pm Jauma farm, along with a few more locals.
Melbourne: Tuesday, 8/11 (TOMORROW!) 12:30-2:30pm Public Wine Shop, Fitzroy, along with our soulmate Scintilla Wines! Come get some spritz in Fitz.

All details are <<here>>.
As always, thanks so much for the support!

With love,

End of Vintage 2022 and New wines!

Hello friends,
Where do we start? Vintage 2022 is done and dusted. It was a good one with low yield but great quality all across. The Pét-nats are in bottle, the rest in barrels and it's looking very promising. We have started a new relationship with an amazing vineyard in Forreston where we sourced Chardonnay (and hopefully more things in the future!) from.
Also (drum roll!!) Ernst’s vineyard in Sellicks Hill is now certified organic “in conversion”!
Although all of the grapes we turn into wine are grown organically, we believe that certification provides more transparency and are very excited about moving forward with this certification.
We are beyond grateful to Ernst for his hard work and love he puts in the vineyard as well as for all our growers. They are all a fantastic bunch we love dearly.
We made a bit less wine in 2022, to maintain sanity. Easier said than done!

Our BFF James, AKA Scintilla Wines, now operates from his own property in Basket Range. We are excited for him beyond words, but we miss the company greatly (insert crying face). We're so happy to still have our little collab Eau d’Amis going though to make sure we get to see each other! (see below). 

Massive thanks to Andy, Joe, Fabio, and Marcell for the help this vintage, we couldn't have done it without you!

And now, please welcome our new wines for Autumn 2022!

Hello friends,

What a vintage it was. What a year. Another roller coaster, quite trying for most. Hopefully, we are slowly getting out of the woods. In the meantime, trying to celebrate what we can!

As said, what a vintage! Finally, a very good crop year, which allowed us to make a bit more wine this time around! Quality didn’t disappoint, either. In fact, we couldn’t be happier with how the wines turned out. We were able to keep the alcohols low, with most wines being in the 10’s and the 11’s %ABV and still are full of flavour, which is what we strive for.

There is a new cuvée this vintage - Hearts will Repair, a couple of old ones that made a comeback, as well as all the usual spring suspects and 3 Pét Nats, all disgorged.

We’re so happy to report that finally, quantities are more generous with a bit more wine than usual this year which is fantastic!

In the other news, we’ve started the organic certification process for Ernst’s Sellicks Hill vineyard, and are hoping to be able to do the same with all the other vineyards eventually, one step at a time.

Hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying the warmer weather outside!

Big love,
