Owen Latta is putting Ballarat in the mix of Australia's foremost wine regions. At only 15 years old he completed his first vintage at Eastern Peake alongside his father and has since taken on the full-time running of the business. Owen is the man primarily responsible for both the Eastern Peake and Latta wines, the former of which being dedicated to premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Eastern Peake vineyard, and the latter being Owen's personal projects all about innovation from a range of excellent central Victorian vineyards.

The wines are all gently brought to life with very astute yet hands-off winemaking, and Owen's low and zero-sulphur wines are some of the best examples in the country. These are thrilling, absolutely unique Victorian wines, and quite simply Owen Latta is one of Australia's finest young winemakers. Graceful Victorian Riesling of great length and minerality. A Certified organic white of sheer class. Fine and yet juicy, sleek, and yet some flesh. Scents and flavours of lemon citrus oil, concentration, courses with energy and a tight, lean, dart-shaped thrust of acidity at its core. Serious, savoury, long, fresh. A brilliant Riesling expression
