What makes Northern Hope wines unique?
We produce wines in tiny batches (300 to 2000 litres) using fruit from carefully selected vineyards. Our approach is hands-on, with minimal intervention to let the fruit and terroir shine.
Wine & Winemaking
Where do your grapes come from?
Our 2019 and 2020 Pinot Noir come from Woodend in the Macedon Ranges, while our 2023 Pinot Noir was grown here at Northern Hope. Our Pyrenees Syrah is sourced from the Landsborough region, reflecting the distinct characteristics of each vineyard and the cool-climate regions we work with.
Are your wines natural or organic?
While we focus on minimal intervention winemaking, we’re not officially certified organic. We work with growers who prioritise sustainable practices and take a low-intervention approach in the winery.
Do you add preservatives to your wines?
We use minimal sulfur (SO₂) to preserve freshness and stability while keeping the wine as pure as possible.
