The wines of Slow Wine Co are made from grapes grown on the Johnson family vineyard, Bantry Grove. The property has been in the family for three generations, since James Johnson purchased the property in 1936. The Johnson family ran sheep and cattle on the property until James’ son Terrey planted 12.2 hectare of vines in the mid 1990s. Today the business is run by siblings Jen and Richie, with Terrey retiring to the vineyard. Our philosophies of small batch selection and hand management in vineyard and winery; use of native yeasts and enzymes; and slow maturation and natural cold stabilisation in the second winter combine to extract every last bit of goodness that our ancient soils can provide.
