Description / Reviews
"Pinot Noir makes up 70% of our total production. The wine is a blend of eight clones farmed organically (non-certified) with yields around 500 grams per vine. Natural yeast and malolactic fermentation occurs in 30% new oak for 11 months. The 2024 Pinot Noir flavour profile has an intriguing mix of cloves, spice, rose petals, violets and dark berries." - De La Beche, Winemaker
"The first foray into winemaking for star viticulturist Tim Brown, De La Bêche comprises a trio of Burgundian wines grown on his 0.5ha high-density Taradale vineyard. The site was established in ’21 at a density of 15,000 vines p/ha, planted mostly to pinot noir with a little bit of chardonnay and aligoté, with the first vintage in ’24. As the remarkable response to the debut release in ’25 indicates, De La Bêche is one of the most exciting new additions to the Australian wine landscape, and a label to closely watch." - Anna Webster, Halliday Wine Companion
