VINEYARD HEALTH
Cultivation of the wine grapes. Almost all wines at NOTWASTED implement organic or biodynamic practices.
-
SKIN CONTACT
The skins of the grapes can form part of the fermentation process. Unlike conventional white wine, natural winemakers will often leave skins of the grapes for part (or all) of the fermentation, the result is a cloudy and tannin filled wine.
-
FILTERING
The filtering of the wine to remove particles post fermentation. Filtering particles may be aesthetically pleasing, but is often viewed as ‘unnatural’ and not filtering is said to create a more unique wine.
-
FINING
Fining wines uses an agent (often gelatin or bentonite) to attract miniscule solids and join them together. Again this is seen as ‘unnatural’.
-
SULPHUR
The amount of sulfur added to the wine. The affect of suplphites in wine on the human body is one of the most debated and researched parts of the winemaking process. Conventional wines often present up to 300mg per litre of wine.
-
YEAST
The type of yeast used. Imported or wild. Yeast is crucial to break down grape sugars into alcohol. Wild yeast, relies on it naturally occuring as part of the fruit harvested. Although harder to execute, it’s often part of a natural winemaker’s process.

About the maker
With more than 30 years combined experience across bars and restaurants, Lisa and Justin Jenkins followed what they felt they've always wanted to do, make tasty wines.
Their motto is simple and straight, to make wines that create flavour, texture and enjoyment. Lisa & Justin Jenkins were inspired to start their own wine label while working at Melbourne’s notorious City Wine Shop. Justin went on to work at the likes of Galli Estate & Mount Langhi, while Lisa, a wine show judge and a graduate of the Len Evans Tutorial, further honed her skills as one of Australia’s leading wine communicators, sommelier and educator. In 2016, their dream to make wine was realised with Fleet’s first release, a Cabernet Franc from Gippsland. The duo relocated there and now source their fruit from both Gippsland and around Victoria. Thanks to Grafted Wines for the notes.
