Rainer Breit and partner Wendy Oliver purchased their property in 1996 with 1.6 ha of what were then 11-year-old pinot noir vines. Rainer, a self-taught winemaker, uses the full bag of pinot noir winemaking tricks: cold-soaking, hot-fermentation, post-ferment maceration, part inoculated and part wild yeast use, prolonged lees contact, and bottling the wine neither fined nor filtered. While Rainer and Wendy are self-confessed ‘pinotphiles’, they planted some chardonnay, supplemented by a little locally grown shiraz and chardonnay. Rainer and Wendy sold the business in May 2011, but Rainer will stay on as winemaker for the next three years with a phased exit strategy. Exports to Canada, Sweden, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.
