Eperosa has evolved from my love of unique vineyards and great wine. As a viticulturist in the Barossa Valley and surrounding wine regions, I’ve consulted to many vineyards that produce magnificent wine grapes. This has driven my desire to create wine from a ‘soil up’ perspective and stay true to the premise that exceptional wine is born from great fruit.
We source wine grapes from our favourite sites throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys. These sites have unique vine, soil and climate properties that produce some of the best fruit the region offers. With many of our growers, we offer viticultural advice to ensure they are able to grow the highest quality wine grapes, allowing us to make wine that is both exceptional and intriguing. Each parcel of fruit is individually selected from subregions through to individual rows within a vineyard in the quest to produce exceptional wine.
The Winemaking techniques at Eperosa are along tradition methods. Both destemming and whole bunch fermentation in open fermenters, hand plunging and a controlled use of pump-overs when required. The wines are left on skins for up to 4 weeks after which it is gently basket pressed into mature French oak barrels. The wine sits on lees and typically spends 18 months in barrel for maturation. There are no added tannins and the wines are unfined and unfiltered upon bottling in order to retain every natural aroma and flavour component possible.
Eperosa wines reflect a genuine sense of place and are handmade in limited numbers totalling hundreds of dozens per vintage. I invite you to be part of the Eperosa experience and join our Mailing List to ensure you are part of each wine release.
Cheers!
