Baratto Wines, a family-owned vineyard in the Riverina region, is run by Peter and Karen Baratto, who oversee every stage of the winemaking process. From cultivating pesticide-free vines to harvesting grapes at their peak, the vineyard follows a "minimal intervention" approach. This hands-on method ensures the fruit is of high quality, which is then processed close to the vineyard, resulting in wines that reflect the essence of their terroir.
Baratto Wines also stands out for its commitment to sustainability. The winery uses 15-liter wine casks, which reduce environmental impact compared to traditional glass bottles. These eco-conscious choices minimize greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, aligning with their dedication to sustainable winemaking. The wines, available exclusively through their Cellar Door and mail order, represent their philosophy of thoughtful, small-scale production.
The Cellar Door at Baratto Wines offers an intimate and personal tasting experience. Guests have the opportunity to sample wines while enjoying views of the vineyard and surrounding hills from the decking. Visitors often get to meet Peter Baratto, the winemaker, adding a unique and engaging aspect to their visit. The relaxed setting provides an authentic look at the hands-on nature of this family-run vineyard.
