FIELD NOTES

This 2022 Pét Nat blend was a new experiment for us. 48-hour skin-soaked Sauvignon Blanc blended with with the first harvest of our new red grape Mataro. The Mataro was hand harvested early, whole-bunch pressed for minimal colour extraction, creating a white wine from red grapes! The two ferments were combined slowly at just the right moment and just over 350 cases were hand bottled on a weekend in the middle of vintage (shout-out to Juls, Marj and Mim!) with zero added sulphur.

The Minimum Manifest →

You might know Matt and Lentil Purbrick from Grown and Gathered – all about their organic garden farm and sustainable lifestyle. Embracing seasonal cooking, village life and traditions of the past, and charting their journey in two books, Grown & Gathered and The Village. They have garnered a great following and have embarked on several impressive projects to share their knowledge and show the way in living a simpler and happier life.

With their newest project, Minimum Wines, Matt returned to his roots in partnership with his father, head winemaker Alister Purbrick of Central Victoria’s heritage Tahbilk winery.

They will never use synthetic inputs and only add naturally derived inputs where needed to help improve soil microbiology, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration and vine health.
