Cropped from a specific half-acre of the Merricks Grove vineyard, Terre de Feu (the land of fire) takes its name from the vein of pure red ferrosol soils of this plot. Many years ago, Barney noticed that the vines in this ironstone buttonhole were producing slightly smaller bunches, yielding wines of greater depth and concentration than the surrounding vineyard. Thus, in 2013 the decision was taken to create this micro-cuvée. The power of the fruit enables a 100% whole-bunch ferment, and Terre de Feu remains Garagiste’s only Pinot to be made this way. The 2022 spent 21 days on skins, followed by 10 months in 30% new oak hogsheads.
