{"title":"Ekin Wines","description":"\u003cp\u003eEKIN Wine Co. was born from the grassroots passion of two vineyard veterans, Brad and Mark—wine people first, business people by necessity. In the thick of the 2021 vintage, they found themselves harvesting far beyond expectations, with high-quality fruit at risk of being left to waste due to rigid contracts. Refusing to let good grapes go unused, the duo sprang into action—juggling calls, coordinating trucks, and scribbling notes on harvester windows to move the fruit across South Australia. What began as a favour for mates turned into something bigger: a wine label forged from camaraderie, hustle, and deep respect for the vineyards they help bring to life. EKIN is a tribute to mateship, ingenuity, and the kind of hands-on experience you can't buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir approach to wine is refreshingly real—rooted in practical knowledge, honest work, and a genuine love of the land. Rather than being driven by boardrooms or branding agencies, EKIN is fuelled by early mornings, dirty boots, and the satisfaction of helping fellow growers thrive. Brad and Mark have built EKIN on the foundations of community and connection, proving that when you combine decades of vineyard know-how with a bit of entrepreneurial spark, you can create something truly special. Every bottle they produce is a reminder of the harvest that started it all—and the mates who made it happen.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ekin-chardonnay-2024-6-pack","title":"Ekin Chardonnay 2024 - 6 Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand picked fruit from Woodside whole bunch press to French oak barrels, 10% new.\u003cbr\u003eWild ferment.

Aromas of bright red fruits are lifted by delicate floral notes and subtle hints of charcuterie, creating an inviting and savoury bouquet. The palate is layered and complex, showing ripe red berry flavours balanced by earthy savoury nuances and fine, firm tannins. Elegant and structured, the wine carries excellent length and poise, making it both approachable now and suitable for further cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from a blend of MV6, 18GM, and G8V7 Pinot Noir clones grown at elevations between 300 and 400 metres above sea level, the vineyard combines free-draining limestone soils over sandy loam with carefully monitored drip irrigation to support vine balance and fruit concentration. Fruit was harvested through a combination of hand picking and machine harvesting, with handpicked parcels cooled for 24 hours prior to processing. Approximately twenty percent whole bunch fruit was fermented in small open-top fermenters, while the remaining fruit was fermented as whole berries following a short cold soak. Ferments were carefully monitored and plunged daily before pressing and maturation in seasoned French oak for ten months. Bottled with minimal fining and filtration, the wine retains purity, texture, and regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlc\/Vol: 13.0%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ekin Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43093423751377,"sku":"9369900036573","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6662\/4209\/files\/regions_ekin_pinotnoirNV.png?v=1778671183"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6662\/4209\/collections\/EKINTEAM.png?v=1753266510","url":"https:\/\/regionscellars.com.au\/collections\/ekin-wines\/chace.oembed","provider":"Regions Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
