Classic plays on words like The Good Juice are lame

We got some good juice in today. Our first pass through the old block Pinot Noir yielded some pretty awesome whole bunches with lots of nicely ripened fruit and stalks. This anonymous hand is picking a berry to eat. A delicious, juicy Pinot Noir berry. Destined for our Holyman wine. Destined for glory.


Meanwhile we got our first decent harvest of the indigenous Austrian grape variety of Gruner Veltliner. Popular for its minerality, citrus profile and fresh, fruit forward style, Gruner is an exotic variety with loads of potential in Tasmania. We at Stoney Rise are the first to produce it in Tasmania in THE HISTORY OF THE WHOLE FRIGGIN UNIVERSE EVER OH MY WE ARE SO SPECIAL ITS INSANE.





Holy moses the Gruner Veltliner is in the Stoney Rise basket press. Look at it! Its Gruner! GRUNER. Not groaner, Gruner. Its blowing our mind so much that we shovelled it out of the basket press and then back in. We wanted a little more juice because we pressed it so gently, so sensually, so erotically. Look at Joe and Mike the erotic workers.
