Ochota Barrels

'A Forest' Pinot Noir 2024

Ochota Barrels ‘A Forest’ Pinot Noir 2024 is an expressive, organically farmed Pinot Noir from Ochota Barrels, a boutique natural-winemaking project based in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, born from founders Taras and Amber Ochota’s passion for minimal-intervention wines and now carried on by Amber and the team. This 2024 vintage, sourced from Chapel Valley vineyards and wild-fermented in small open-top batches before aging in seasoned French oak, offers a floral nose of crushed petals and stems, earthy forest undergrowth and garrigue, and a savory palate of damson, red currants and subtle spice with bright, savory persistence - a lively, textured Pinot that elegantly reflects its cool hill terroir.
