Rainer Breit and partner Wendy Oliver purchased their property in 1996 with 1.6 hectares of what were then 11-year-old pinot noir vines. Rainer Breit, a self-taught winemaker, uses the full bag of pinot noir winemaking tricks: cold-soaking, hot-fermentation, post-ferment maceration, part inoculated and partly wild yeast use, prolonged lees contact, and bottling the wine neither fined nor filtered. - James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2008
