Hemera’s winemaking philosophy is “to produce wines that are respectful of the grape varieties from which they are made and the vineyard and region where the vines are grown”.
Winemaker Jason Barrette has over 30 vintages of premium winemaking experience around the world in France, USA, Portugal and Canada. Jason was a Penfolds winemaker for 11 years working on their premium portfolio of wines including Magill Estate, St Henri, Bin707 and Grange.
For Jason, winemaking doesn’t simply finish when the wine is tucked away in barrel for maturation. He believes, and has seen “many a wine where immense time and effort in the vineyard and during vintage come to a disappointing conclusion when it comes time to blend and bottle though oxidation, bacterial spoilage”. Jason believes that barrel maturation times should not be set in stone for particular wines. “Each vintage is different and capturing fruit intensity, varietal expression and finesse in wines is critical”.
This rings through with Hemera Estate’s mantra: perfect balance between intensity, structure and elegance.
