Garagiste Winemaking

About Twelve Apostles Winery

Established in 2009. A father and son garagiste winery that produces a limited range of quality wines. We do not focus on any specific style or trend but rather produce a wine that showcases the vintage and terroir.

This is what we love to do - Welcome to our world!

 

Garagiste winemaking is a passion-driven endeavor, where limited quantities of wine are produced in a DIY setting, such as a garage or storeroom. Unlike commercial winemaking, this approach prioritises fun and creativity over profit. With limited equipment and traditional techniques, the goal is to find innovative solutions to achieve great results. While there's no strict definition or volume restriction, a true garagiste operation should be small enough to fit in a garage. The real reward lies in the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes with enjoying a bottle of your own handcrafted wine.
