The Wine
Return to contents
Bsixtwelve is focused on producing still wines from Pinot Blanc grown at Lone Farm Vineyard. The first vines were planted in 2014, with the first vintage released in 2017. Wines are produced in very small quantities and released selectively.
The vineyard follows an ecological approach to grape growing, drawing on organic, biodynamic and regenerative principles. Vineyard management avoids synthetic inputs and prioritises soil health and biodiversity.
Winemaking is deliberately low-intervention. Fermentations are spontaneous, using native yeasts, and wines are made without fining or filtration. This approach is intended to allow the vineyard and vintage to express themselves as clearly as possible.
