Good Intentions Wine - Relatively White (2021)
Due to low yields of 2020 it had Andrew looking outside Mount Gambier to find grapes. They landed with Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc from Cape Jaffa's certified biodynamic vineyard just near Robe, SA, grown on sandy soils over limestone. This wine is dominant Semillon 80%, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and the grapes were co picked and co fermented and went through the exact same process as the artesian lava being kept on skins for 3 months, pressed to barrel and bottled just before the 2021 harvest. Being from Robe its richer with a mouth filling texture and depth.

One is a farmer, the other a musician, Andrew and Louise, a husband and wife team who moved back to Mount Gambier (Andrew’s childhood town) to start a family and a wine label. We wanted to grip the earth with our toes and use our knowledge in organic farming and permaculture to create our own wine label. We wanted to create a community where we could be proud to raise our daughter Frankie. Our dream is to inspire home grown eating, drinking and music that nourishes the land and reflects our personalities and to share it with the community.
We make wines that reflect the eccentricities of our personalities, place and terroir with a minimalistic approach. We use old world wine methods, preferring the challenges of hand picking our fruit, open fermenting with indigenous yeast and only adding sulphur when required by the wine. We do not filter or fine our wines and they are all bottled on site in our small winery. Our aim is to produce great tasting unique wines expressing this unique terroir above anything else. We produce what we like to drink.
This orange wine is oxidative in its style with long tannins yet still holding freshness and expressing tropical fruit flavours.
