Description

A unique collaboration between Taras Ochota and Tool frontman Maynard Keenan. One barrel made from a single vineyard.

After they established a friendship at Keenan's winery in Arizona, the sharing of both musical and vinous ideas culminated in this cult hero wine collaboration.

About Ochota Barrels:

The term “rockstar winemaker” gets thrown around a lot these days but Taras Ochota, owner/purveyor of cult wine label Ochota Barrels, was the real deal. Taras sadly passed away in late 2020, leaving his wines as a legacy. These are highly sought after and extremely limited wines which have a pulsating energy and drive to them. 

His grungy, minimalist attitude towards his label has seen him gain huge cult status internationally as one of the most boundary-pushing winemakers in Australia. From his home in the beautiful Basket Range of the Adelaide Hills, Taras and his wife Amber craft small batches of wine from surrounding vineyards in the Hills and special sites across McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley. Taras picks earlier than most as a general rule, so expect lighter, more ethereal wines with freshness and 'tension' as a motif.
