Experience the finesse of Hochkirch Blanc 2022 from John and Jennifer Nagorcka’s Demeter-certified biodynamic vineyard in Tarrington, Henty, southwest Victoria. This skin-contact Semillon-dominant blend ferments wild on skins for edgy texture, then rests in seasoned oak – unfined, unfiltered, minimal sulphur to capture cool-climate purity from high-density, dry-grown vines on gravelly basalt loams. Wet stone phenolics mingle with sweet florals, honeyed hints and bright citrus, delivering surprising palate weight, tense minerality and lively acidity that lingers with chalky grip.

The Hochkirch Blanc 2022 pairs brilliantly with grilled octopus, whiting fillets or soft goat’s cheese, its textural drive cutting through richness with precision. Vibrant yet complex, this is biodynamic white with old-world soul – snag it for seafood feasts or crisp spring afternoons when something structured and alive demands attention.
