Wines
Two ranges, one winery, one approach to farming. The High Liner wines came first, beginning in 2019, and remain the wines built for the table. The Single Vineyard wines arrived later, once Jean-Baptiste had spent enough years with each site to feel he had earned the right to ask it to speak for itself. The distance between the two is not one of quality. It is one of intention.
Single Vineyard Range
The Single Vineyard wines are the more deliberate half of the cellar. Each bottling commits to a single site and a single grape, vinified with aging potential as the guiding intention. Organically farmed fruit, fermentation surrendered to wild yeasts, and the structural patience to drink well across years rather than weeks. These are wines built to keep, and to reward it.
Each represents years of conversation between Jean-Baptiste and the grower, refined across multiple vintages before the wine was considered worthy of carrying the vineyard's name on the label. The site must earn its bottling as much as the vintage must earn it.
The Single Vineyard wines are released in limited quantities and offered to the allocation list first. They do not wait long.
High Liner Range
The High Liner wines are made to be opened. Drawn from high quality vineyard sites across the Barossa and Adelaide Hills that Jean-Baptiste has worked closely with for years, they are made with drinkability and accessibility as the first priority: wines carried with the intent of being shared and enjoyed.
They were the first wines Jean-Baptiste released under his own name, beginning in 2019, and the priorities he set at the time have not shifted: drinkability above all else, recognition for the farmers whose fruit gives the wines their character, and a slow, deliberate refinement of style across each vintage. They are the wines that show who he is becoming as a winemaker, one release at a time.
The High Liner Range remains available year round, subject to vintage. They are made to be opened.
