Coppabella Vineyard, Tumbarumba NSW. The Coppabella site is in the ultra cool climate region of Tumbarumba, the site ranges in altitude throughout the vineyard from 550m to 640m.

Fermentation consisted of three components: 25% on skins, 7% barrel ferment & the remaining 68% in stainless steel. The portion on skins was kept there for 18 days before being gently pressed into tank. All the components of the wine completed their own fermentation prior to blending and stabilisation, natural yeast, minimal sulphur additions.

Nathan Brown’s Linear Wines is nearly as old as his winemaking career, making his first wines the vintage after he began working at Canberra’s Collector Wines in 2017. With an aim to reflect the great diversity of sites in and around the Canberra District, Brown sources both classic and alternative varieties from across the region. Now working exclusively on Linear, Brown has leased a winemaking space in Murrumbateman, where he has broadened the range in 2021 across eight varieties and with lots of small parcels, and with even more planned for the future.
