Ochota Barrels ‘Out of My Head’ Grenache 2023

Just 1,680 bottles of this one-off release, named after a track by Adelaide’s 90s punk band, The Exploding White Mice. The fruit comes from a mid-70s vineyard planted by the Wait family, just up from the Fugazi block. The label? A nod to Taras’s late-night spray paint session on an old fermenter. Handpicked on a sunny March day, this clean, lush Grenache needed only minimal SO₂. With Fugazi’s usual fruit lost to poor set and mold, Amber turned to the Wait family’s vines for this special batch. Amber’s note: “We’re proud to keep it local and green — all packaging is local, and the winery is solar-powered and rainwater-fed.” Drink up, punk spirit and all
