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
Little is known about New England and it's ranging micro-climates, but Jared Dixon is putting it back on everyone's map through his elevating and creative winemaking.
Managing his own vineyard at Black Mountain, whilst sourcing fruit from Troppers Mountain Tingha and Kurrajong Downs, Jared's winemaking philosophy is to make sure the wine is a representation of a time and a place, with no tampering or additions. All his releases have immense amounts of vibrancy, vitality and purity. One of his sites, Black Mountain, at 1360m, would have to be the highest vineyard in Australia. The wines that come about are out of this world. They could go head-to-head with any of the most premium wine growing regions around the world.
