Mt. Gambier, South Australia

Good Intentions Wine Co.

We first came across this winery through a photo shown to us at a Manhattan retailer. “Do you know them?” No. “My friend says they’re great. Look them up.” Ok, will do (makes quick note). About six months later, we were having coffee with Andrew and Louise and tasting their wines at an outdoor cafe table in McLaren Vale. Their young daughter Frankie draw all over my notes. We got a really good feel for them, and love what they’re doing.

Andrew and Louise are located in Mount Gambier, which is about half way between Adelaide and Melbourne. Very remote. They planted their own organically managed vineyard and Andrew’s started heading up the local viticultural association in order to try to get the region on Australia’s organic winemaking map! In the meantime, they manage and source fruit from three local sites. These wines offer tremendous value for the quality and should be guzzled by everybody everywhere. Small volumes only – and they sell out quick!

“We make wines that reflect the eccentricities of our personalities, place and terroir with a minimalistic approach. We use old world wine methods, preferring the challenges of hand picking our fruit, open fermenting with indigenous yeast and only adding sulphur when required by the wine. We do not filter or fine our wines and they are all bottled on site in our small winery. Our aim is to produce great tasting unique wines expressing this unique terroir above anything else. We produce what we like to drink.” – Andrew

My debut with good_intentions_wine / Mt Gambier Chardonnay /volcanic Chardonnay with this 2023 Chardonnay from Mr Andrew Burchell and his groovy organic methods 😍

I like this very much! The vibe is gentle but complex. Pretty shimmery gold in appearance, citrus, gently toasted lemon honey and soft soft stone fruit on the nose with an equally soft line of salinity - gentle and groovy.

The same lemon, honey toastiness once sipped, but complimented by an interesting nuttiness, hazelnut and walnut, very well balanced giving the wine a gentle texture and feel while allowing the interesting flavour profile to remain the focal point. The wine has good persistence with a saline lemon nutty note holding for quite some time. Maybe some soft peach in there too. The flavours, especially the nutty citrus notes become more pronounced the longer open.

Loved this😍 thank you to the legends at good_intentions_wine looking forward to tasting more Mt Gambier magic 😍

Friday afternoons poolside with Noir Dee Doot Dah from Good Intentions

A juicy pinot noir from Mount Gambier in Australia. This is a perfect chiller red, a brilliant glou glou bbq wine and something I could drink everyday.

Taste’s like red jet plane lollies with a light spritz.
Natural, naked and delicious!

After returning to their roots a husband and wife duo have grown their wine label from the ground up and now are set to begin a new venture on the outskirts of Mount Gambier.

Now Andrew and Louise Burchell are transforming an old butcher shop into a cellar door by day and wine bar by night. Sitting alongside a bakery and ice creamery, Andrew says that the new venue would transform the area into “an interesting little hub”.

Read all about it via thel ink in bio.

Good Intentions Wine // Pétillant Pop
🐟🥤

Carbonic macerated Pinot Noir fruit, de-stemmed and pressed. This Pet Nat is a dark style Pinot noir. Think red frogs and candy canes. This wine`s drinkability is insane.

Good Intentions Wine Co., South Australia – Good Intentions Wine Co. er et lille familieforetagende drevet af Andrew Burchell og hans kone Louise, med en ambition om at skabe et landbrug, der fremmer biodiversiteten og bidrager til at løfte det lille lokalsamfund Mount Gambier beliggende cirka halvvejs mellem Adelaide og Melbourne. Vi befinder os på sydsiden af en af Australiens yngste inaktive vulkaner, hvilket bidrager til et helt unikt terroir og markant køligere klima, end man finder det i mere kendte Australske vindyrkningsområder. ⁠

Markerne dyrkes efter principperne om permakultur, og i kælderen er filosofien ligeledes helt klar. Her bedst beskrevet af Andrew selv: ”We make wines that reflect the eccentricities of our personalities, place and terroir with a minimalistic approach. We use old world wine methods, preferring the challenges of hand picking our fruit, open fermenting with indigenous yeast and only adding sulphur when required by the wine. We do not filter or fine our wines and they are all bottled on site in our small winery. Our aim is to produce great tasting unique wines expressing this unique terroir above anything else. We produce what we like to drink.”⁠

Vinene udviser generelt høj friskhed og relative lav ekstraktion. Det er uhøjtidelig vin, der kan drikkes i store slurke, men som stadigvæk udviser nok karakter og personlighed til, at man har lyst til at åbne en flaske mere.⁠

Charmeleon

Chardonnay from Coola Road vineyard.
Direct pressed and fermented in stainless steel before being transferred to old French biriques. Left on barrel for 15 month and then rested in bottle for another 4 month.

It’s a chalky, oxidative and rich in minerality with acidity to die for.
