ABOUT
We make a range of wines from Beechworth and the King Valley. Our home site just south of the township of Stanley is called Thorley, and wines labelled Thorley are 100% estate grown and made. The Brunnen vineyard is a tiny parcel of vines owned by our neighbours, which we've been working with since 2014. The Obstgarten wines are from a mature, unirrigated Riesling vineyard toward the southern end of the King Valley. Our Prêt-à-Blanc and Prêt-à-Rouge wines are blends assembled with an eye to easy drinking.
Our wines are made with hand-picked fruit. We ferment with native yeasts and if the wines go through malolactic fermentation, then that is spontaneous. We are pretty low on winemaking additions but do use judicious amounts of sulfur dioxide to preserve fruit purity. Although not certified, we are working to an organic protocol and make our own compost to spread under vine.
We spend a lot more time in the field than in the cellar, so our winemaking practises are pretty simple. We don't fine, and only filter our white wines.
