Ah, Owen Latta. Truly one of Australia’s hardest working vignerons and with the absolute slew of wines to prove his skin in the game. Though he has his own personal label, Latta, he continues to vinify under his family's Eastern Peake. The wines are highly sought year after year, and it is obvious to see why. They always afford such poise, such energy, such purpose. Being able to show your winemaking skill and also the best of the fruit is a hard skill to balance, but he does it in spades. He is one of Australia’s finest young winemakers.
