What happens when you combine nearly two decades of wine science with a passion for pushing boundaries? You get wines that are untamed, happy, free-spirited, and made out of grapes and absolutely nothing else.
This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure to spend some time with Alex Schulkin, wine maker and owner of The Other Right, where I learnt a little more about making Organic wine.
Under the belief that there’s never just one "right" way to do things, Alex started this label in 2012 to challenge conventions. Making wine with zero additives means letting it evolve at its own natural rhythm. It requires immense patience, intense attention to detail, and a lot of creative problem-solving.
From the beautiful Adelaide Hills to a special pocket of McLaren Vale, 100% of their fruit is sourced from long-term vineyard partners practicing organic and sustainable farming.
While the focus of this visit was to grab some new portraits of Alex doing what he does so well, it was also great to spend some time sampling some varieties straight from the barrel..and then heading home to sit by the fire with a bottle of the finished product from the last vintage!
