After the ‘19 and ‘20 Ancestrale sold out quickly, we made a bit more in ‘21.

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Gris from the white gravel soils of the Yorktown Vineyard. Wild yeast fermentation begins in tank and completes in the bottle with no dosage. The wine is sealed while completing fermentation and will contain yeast sediment.

The oldest and most fraught way to make sparkling wine.

Wild, complex and not for everyone.

One hundred days you wait for it, Something bright, Something so good.

Description

About Haddow and Dineen Wines

Haddow + Dineen is a collaborative winemaking project from cheesemaker, Nick Haddow, and winemaker, Jeremy Dineen with the aim to make small batches of intensely Tasmanian wines.

Our grapes are sourced exclusively from a single, tiny vineyard in Yorktown, near the mouth of the Tamar River in northern Tasmania where vines grow in white quartz gravel.

Our core belief is that great fruit, from special places, guided by the right hands is what makes great wine. We value ‘maximum consideration’ over ‘minimal intervention’ – for every wine we produce, there are a thousand choices to be made about whether to impose ourselves or simply employ vigilant inaction.

“THERE’S A DEFTNESS OF TOUCH TO THE WINES THAT COMES FROM THE CLEAR THINKING AND STRONG INTENT OF HADDOW AND DINEEN.”

Nick Ryan, The Australian

Ullage Wine

It’s something so very scientific. So very artistic. So very naturalistic. Never static. Never still. It’s that tiny sliver of space the Winemaker leaves for us - the common drinker. It’s their open invitation. Their passageway.

Their door ajar to something they hope is full of life, full of meaning, full of inspiration. Full of them actually - their families, their land, their team, their love. Their everything.
For such a tiny space, there’s a lot riding on it.

Life. Meaning. Inspiration. Three words we’ve used to curate a portfolio full of things not only new to the island, but new in their meaning, new in their inspiration, and new in their life.

Many of these guys are our friends, our peers, our swami. And intentionally so. It’s kinda how it should be.
We hope you enjoy tucking into them as much as we do.
