LATTA Vino is the experimental second-label of Owen Latta of Eastern Peake. The fruit is sourced from vineyards run by old family friends and relative in the regions surrounding the Latta family’s property in Coghills Creek. Like Eastern Peake, the fruit is sustainably grown and - except for the occasional small addition of SO2 at bottling - the wines are made without additions.
This wine is made from traditional French varieties using non-traditional methods. Rattlesnake is always a bit of an experiment; classic grapes pushed beyond their boundaries to see what can happen. It’s also important to remember the vineyards are the real stars, these sites produce exceptional fruit reflecting their place. This wine is made up of many different skin contact ferments.
