Ochota Barrels has a loyal following of devotees who love how the late Taras Ochota joyfully celebrated less obvious wine varieties, making beautiful, pure, transparent wines with huge personalities. The Weird Berries in the Woods Gewürztraminer is one of his most popular wines, despite the grape being one that divides the crowds. Now being made by his wife and longtime winemaking partner Amber, she is staying true to his idiosyncratic approach to this grape, highlighting its textural quality and framing its unique rosewater, lychee and ginger aromatics in a drier, more savoury and refreshing robe than one usually sees. Super compelling and a wonderful discovery for the uninitiated.

"We just want to produce something delicious and gorgeous for all of us to enjoy with none of the nasties and more of the love".

This was Taras and Amber's mission statement when they founded Ochota Barrels together in 2000, returning from surfing and travelling the wine regions of the world to settle down in Adelaide Hills.

Since Taras Ochota died suddenly in 2020 his wife Amber and the Ochota team have been continuing the project.

The team take a holistic approach in the vineyard, the small biodynamic producers they met in the south of France have been a huge influence. A hands-off, minimum-intervention approach to winemaking: picking early to maintain natural acidity, ferments using indigenous yeasts, whole-bunch pressing the whites, whole-bunch fermentation and longer maceration for the reds. Texture is an important focus, mouth-feel is created via time on skins and batonnage. Aging is in old French oak, just a touch of sulphur is used at bottling.
