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.

Reviews

“So much spice and stalky whole bunch meatiness, and yes, some capsicum, and yet, while it’s a theme here, it adds an extra dimension to both aromatics and texture, and that’s not always the case with such things. Exotic, kind of smoky and earthy, sweet strawberry and sweet spice, cool acidity, a graphite feel to tannin, so ‘mineral’, autumnal yet fresh, with a finish of superb length. It all just works. It’s a wine of great character and charisma. I love it.”
