2025 Ochota Barrels Green Room Grenache
Green Room has become one of the touchstones for what McLaren Vale Grenache can be when treated with restraint and respect. From 1946-planted, dry-grown vines in Onkaparinga Hills, farmed organically and surrounded by olive and fig trees, it’s a site that naturally delivers concentration without heaviness.
Picked by hand, fermented with a quarter whole bunches, and raised for just a few months in seasoned oak, this 2025 is as bright and lifted as ever. Spice, plum and red berries lead the way, with threads of thyme and white pepper giving a savoury twist. The palate is fine and fresh, almost Pinot-like in its shape, with crunchy red fruits, silky tannins and a subtle mineral grip. At just 11.2% alcohol, it’s feather-light but never simple – the kind of wine that feels as good on a Tuesday night as it does at a long weekend lunch.
Ochota have always made Grenache their own, stripping it back to its essence and letting the vineyard speak. Green Room is that philosophy in action – energetic, fragrant and dangerously drinkable.
Only a small amount made, bottled in clear glass to celebrate the sheer clarity of the fruit.
2025 Ochota Barrels Texture Like Sun Sector 12
If there’s one wine that captures Ochota’s free-spirited side, it’s Texture Like Sun. Every year the blend shifts - this time it’s a mash-up of Pinot, Grenache, Gewürztraminer, Gamay and Pinot Meunier – but the result is always the same: utterly drinkable, impossible to pigeonhole.
Sector 12 hums with juicy red fruits, a flicker of spice, a little herbal twist, and just enough tannin to keep things in shape. Gamay and Grenache bring brightness and bounce, Pinot adds finesse, Gewürz sneaks in perfume, and Meunier rounds it all out. The name says it all - this is about feel as much as flavour, with supple fruit and gentle grip that make each glass glide down a little too easily.
It’s not a wine that follows rules. Playful, vibrant, and seriously fun to drink, whether it’s on a picnic rug or poured at a white-tablecloth restaurant. The yellow label is a beacon; the wine inside pure sunshine.
As Amber Ochota says: “Juicy and vibrant, perfect for anywhere and everywhere.”
2025 Ochota Barrels Surfer Rosa Rose
Nothing says summer like the release of Surfer Rosa. It’s Ochota’s take on Rosé: crisp, dry, and built for the kind of afternoons that turn into evenings without you noticing.
This year’s blend is Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills with a splash of old-vine Grenache (and just a whisper of Gewürztraminer for lift). Picked early to lock in freshness, it shows pale salmon in the glass and bursts with red berries, citrus zest and a flicker of spice. The palate is snappy and textural - think cranberry, strawberry and a little savoury grip - before finishing bone dry.
It’s not trying to be complicated, just beautifully judged. A chilled bottle of Surfer Rosa, some good company, and you’re set.
2025 Ochota Barrels Weird Berries in the Woods Gewurztraminer
Ochota Barrels has always had a soft spot for Gewürztraminer. It sneaks into blends here and there in tiny amounts - a splash in a red ferment, a few skins to lift the aromatics - but this is where it takes centre stage.
Weird Berries in the Woods has never been about textbook Gewürztraminer. The motto has always been: do the opposite of what you’re taught with aromatic whites. Pick some berries ripe, some crunchy, some in between - and let the whole lot tell its own story. Basket press, seasoned French oak, wild ferment, no polish.
The 2025 shows all the quirks we love: lychee and tangelo blossom up front, a thread of lavender and ginger, then a bone-dry, chalky finish that keeps you coming back. Full malo this year has given it extra generosity, softening the edges while keeping that nervy line of acid humming through.
It’s fragrant, textural, a little unpredictable - in other words, everything Gewürz should be in the hands of Ochota.
