ANCIENT SOILS, ANCIENT CULTURE
Over 80,000 years of stories from the world’s oldest living culture.
Munda is the Wirangu & Kokatha word for land that pre-dates the French concept of ‘terroir’ by over 80,000 years. Our philosophy is to express the munda of select Aboriginal countries.
As Aboriginal people we don’t believe in owning the munda. We believe munda is our mother and giver, and that if we care for munda, munda will care for us.
For over 80,000 years our First Nation’s People, my ancestors, have respected munda first.
ABORIGINAL FERMENTATION
Traditionally my people enjoyed various fermented beverages for ceremonial purposes. One was Wayalinah from the Palawa kani people of Tasmania who enjoyed a light cider-like alcoholic drink made from the naturally fermented sap of the Cider Gums (Eucalyptus Gunnii.)
These trees were nicknamed ‘cider gums’ by the first European settlers. In this way, it is likely we were the first culture to create an alcoholic beverage.
ABORIGINAL COUNTRIES
My ancestors have extensive experience caring for munda across over 500 countries and language groups on this munda we now call Australia.
Munda Wines have partnered with artisan winemakers from specific countries who have a deep respect for munda. These winemakers and viticulturalists have grown vitis vinifera (grape vine) in their regions for many, many decades and across generations and have seen the impacts of climate change on munda. They have observed, trialled new methods and adapted, as my people have done over their 80,000 plus years.
