Local Event

Ochota Barrels...ahhh, Illumination!

Cost: $85

OCHOTA BARRELS NOTES + PHILOSPHY:

-less is more…aka, hands-off winemaking with meticulous attention to detail

-grapes are picked based on acidity, not intensity of flavour…

though the Ochota Barrels wines are as yummy as a first kiss in an Adelaide bar

-the wines spend quite a bit of time on the skins, for textural purposes…

sort of like mic-ing the crap out of your drum kit

-Ochota Barrels started in 2008…but it really began on a surfing trip along the Mexico coast 

in 2000 when Amber & Taras decided winegrowing, back home in Aussie Land, 

was their mutually assured destination 

(Taras did graduate from Oenology School at Adelaide University / 

Amber made wine in Italy and oversaw production at the Nordic Sea Winery…in Sweden!)

-championed the revival of the Basket Range of the Adelaide Hills

-the logo creation was nourished by Calvados and symbolizes “the labyrinth of flavour, texture, and emotion”

-Ochota is Ukrainian for “willingness, desire” and Barrels is a surfing reference

-the music you like directs the type of wines you make 

(aka, these wines are not made by fans of stadium rock from the 1980s)

-“wine produced with none of the nasties and more of the love”

-it will be a seated gathering, at our Cellar Room Table

-6 wines will be enjoyed during the class + a welcome wine

-there will be a snack, because we want your bellies to be happy

-there will be instruction and conversation...this is a class after all...

lasting roughly 60 minutes.

We very much look forward to celebrating

the Wines of Australia AND Ochota Barrels with you.
