Have you tried Grรผner Veltliner yet? Our founder's son-in-law is Austrian, so there was no way we weren't going to have a go at producing Austria's flagship white wine. Fortunately, our terroir is perfectly suited and we make a really good one!

"A very impressive example of the variety." - Huon Hooke

Nick Ryan did a nice write up about OSSA this weekend in the The Australian Weekend Magazine, including some notes on a few of our new releases. Loved the Chardonnay notes in particular - curry leaf, buttered popcorn, yuzu curd. Yum!

New Vintage Release: 2022 Chardonnay

Like its esteemed predecessors, our 2022 Chardonnay is made from a combination of two Burgundy clones, I10V1 and P58. The I10V1 contributes great depth and complexity, whilst the P58 lends notes of stone fruit and a well-defined acidity that helps to enhance the wineโ€™s overall structure and aging potential.

The clones were harvested separately and each gently pressed into large format seasoned French oak for an indigenous fermentation. The wine received minimal intervention during the 10 month รฉlevage on lees in barrel prior to blending.

The 2022 Chardonnay embodies purity and finesse. Subtle nuances of struck match and flinty minerality intertwine with a whisper of oak spice on the nose, along with delicious lemon curd and hints of nashi pear. At its heart lies a focused core of ripe stone fruit, enveloped by a pristine acid structure that bestows both richness and tension across the palate. Drinking beautifully now, however we know patience will reward with this wine.

Only 255 dozen made.

Duck with pinot noir is almost a clichรฉโ€”but few clichรฉs are as delectable! We will explore the symbiosis of this most delicious meat as paired with the most refined and complex of red wines, pinot noir, in this keenly awaited dinner tasting.

More than just a pretty picture! In the foreground is our dam and up above it is our solar farm.

Farming sustainably is important for us and important for the planet. With a large solar array and battery storage capability, our farm and vineyard are entirely off grid. Several other players in the sector augment their power needs with solar supply, however, we believe that we are alone in being totally off the grid. All our pumping energy needs are met with a sophisticated, multi-pump soft start system. This also applies to irrigation and other inputs beyond the vineyard.

The pack includes the following releases:
1 x bottle 2020 Pinot Noir
1 x bottle 2021 Pinot Noir
1 x bottle 2022 Pinot Noir
