Producer Patrick Sullivan

AUSTRALIA

Patrick Sullivan is one of Australia's most exciting and young winemakers. Patrick was born and raised in Victoria, on the family farm. After traveling to Europe to learn winemaking techniques, he decided to return to Australia and enroll in the oenology course at the local university. Patrick produces his wine from grapes that come from organic and biodynamic vineyards, and in the cellar the interventions are minimal and fermentation and refining take place in steel tanks or ceramic eggs. His philosophy of production is contained in this sentence: "I do not put myself in the category of Natural Wines. I only make wine. Natural Wine is a constructed term that I do not like very much. I make wine in the way I like it and in the style that I like to drink and I do not feel better than someone who acidifies or uses selected yeasts. I do not do it because I do not like it. I do it differently. Four wines produced: haggis Wine produced with Moscato, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Malbec grapes, the Bonkers, red wine obtained from 7 varieties of white and red grapes, the Jumpin 'juice obtained from a blende of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, and the Windy Cottage from Pinot Noir grapes in purity.
