2024 Fin Wines Fin Skins

Fin Wines, launched in January 2020 by JonJo McEvoy, Oliver Johns, and Angus Hean, is a fermentation collective based in Dixons Creek, Yarra Valley, on Wurundjeri Country. Focused on producing fresh, fun, and highly drinkable wines, ciders, and piquettes, they use minimal intervention techniques like spontaneous fermentation, no filtering, and minimal additives. The 10-acre vineyard, planted in the early 1990s on grey-red sandy loam over clay, is sustainably farmed to preserve soil and biodiversity. Its mix of south and north-facing slopes benefits from cooling influences from nearby hills.

A 50:50 blend of Riesling and Arinto, this collaboration combines Fin's Riesling with Box Grove's Arinto. Skin-fermented for 3 weeks, it’s a highly aromatic, oxidative, and textural wine. Bursting with florals like frangipani and sweet peas, the palate is lush and seamless, offering tropical notes of lychee, mangosteen, and guava, along with juicy peaches. A subtle salinity adds a refreshing, ocean-breeze finish.
