Immerse yourself in the unparalleled charm of Nomads Gardens Pinot Blanc, a testament to the artistry of winemaking and the bounty of nature. Sourced from the esteemed Acacia Park vineyard in the King Valley, this wine is a tribute to the vision and dedication of grower Pat Murtagh, whose passion for viticulture is reflected in every bottle.

Perched on the side of a mountain, Acacia Park enjoys cooler temperatures that are vital for maintaining natural acidity, a hallmark of premium winemaking. While the vineyard predominantly cultivates well-known commercial varieties, a serendipitous discovery led to the revival of Pinot Blanc, a hidden gem waiting to be unearthed.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Nomads Gardens Pinot Blanc is a labor of love from vine to bottle. The grapes are handpicked in the cool of the night, ensuring optimal freshness and flavor retention. Upon arrival at the winery, 75% of the fruit undergoes gentle whole bunch pressing in a traditional wooden basket press, while the remaining 25% is allowed to macerate on skins for 16 hours before pressing.

Fermentation occurs spontaneously, driven by the natural yeast indigenous to the vineyard, resulting in a wine that is authentic and true to its terroir. Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves the delicate aromatics of the fruit, while barrel aging on lees for three months imparts texture and complexity.

True to the ethos of the Nomads Gardens range, minimal intervention is employed in the winemaking process, allowing the fruit to express itself fully. Lightly filtered and hand-bottled on-site, this vegan-friendly wine is a testament to sustainability and ethical production practices.

With its vibrant character and captivating flavors, Nomads Gardens Pinot Blanc is a delightful addition to any wine lover's collection. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite cuisine, each sip offers a glimpse into the soul of the King Valley terroir. Bottled in June 2021, this limited-edition release is a testament to the enduring allure of handcrafted wines.
