Naming a wine can be challenging. No doubt we will receive a lot of scoffing for that comment based on our track record, but its true. It can take weeks, even months to do each cuvee justice by perfectly matching its profile and story to a fitting name that reflects it. 

The creative process is tortuous and takes hours of reminiscing, googling and vinous stimulation. Its bloody tough…..In most cases it would be easier naming your first child. 

And then, sometimes everything just aligns and the world feels right and at peace. 

So, what do you call a super wine made from 5 varieties from 5 different vineyards? A wine which lets each individual variety and site shine independently but harmoniously combine to create something beautiful and unique at the same time. 

You name it after the super robot piloted by 5 space explorers. 

Production: 30% Sangiovese and 15% Dolcetto from the La Cantina vineyard, 25% Barbera from the Cavicchiolo vineyard and 15% Pinot Gris from our vineyard high in the Whitlands hills, all located in the King Valley. 15% Syrah from Bushtrack Wines in the Alpine Valley, Victoria.

All vinified separately yet with very similar practices employed for each batch. In this wine we see the 2024 Gymkata, Classic Edition Pet Nat and the Square Root of Five come together along with two very integral components. High acid, super bright, dark fruited Barbera and some skin contact Pinot Gris for texture. This took us longer to blend than any wine I can remember. A true fruit salad containing White, Rose, light red and medium bodied red.
