COSA NOSTRA. n. [Italian, literally: our thing]
Our Cosa Nostra wines are a clear example of our love for all things unique and different. Interesting blends, alternative varietals, relatively unknown regions. We literally want to create ‘our thing.’ Small batches of adventurous experimentation, teamed with our minimal winemaking philosophy to best capture the unique and intrinsic nature of these alternative varietals and blends.

Fruit was hand-picked from a single vineyard in the Yarra Valley.
Grapes were whole bunch pressed. No press cuts were made as the pressings contain lovely phenolics and flavours helping to create a textural style.
Cloudy juice then went into old barrels for fermentation, utilising a mixture of wild and aromatic yeasts. Post ferment the wine stayed in oak on full solids for 4 months.
No fining agents used. Single filtration prior to bottling.

Stuart Knox"Pale yellow in colour. Lemon zest, almond meal and seaspray aromas. The palate is light with a bright acid line keeping it fresh and carrying a nutty spice note that lingers long into the finish. A saline minerality adds further interest and little hint of phenolics at the end really draws you back for further inspection. A lovely wine."
