Barritt Vineyards Winery Laboratory

At Barritt Vineyards, our winemaking is guided by both heritage and science. Every grape is estate-grown on our family vineyards, allowing us to care for the vines from budburst to bottle.

We honour traditional methods – open fermentation, gentle pressing, and careful aging in both French and American oak – while applying our backgrounds in biochemistry and biology to ensure precision and balance at every stage. This blend of wisdom and scientific knowledge allows us to craft wines that are expressive of the land, honest in character, and made to be enjoyed for years to come.

For us, the process is not just about making wine, but about respecting the vines, the soil, and the generations of care that came before.
