SERIOUSLY GOOD BLENDED WINE.

Single Barrel Wine Co. is a company built for one thing: seriously good blended wine. Maze is its opening statement, and its first release.

This is a company shop, not a catalogue. Everything here is made by the same team, to the same standard, and sold with intent. Maze leads the way. A white wine, and the continuation of the premium “Ou Grond” line, will follow under the same banner in time.

JOIN THE CREW!

A deliberately limited release.

Maze 2024 is bottled and ready, with limited releases from 2025 and 2026 already resting, waiting for the Crew Members who’ll one day open them.

This isn’t an open-ended offer. It’s a first release, made with intent, for those who join early. Be one of the first 500 Crew Members. Once that list closes, future Crew spots will be allocation-only, year by year. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the MAZE story from the very beginning.

CREW NOTES.

Good food, serious wine, and the people who make both worth showing up for, that’s the Motley Crew. Some of us mountain bike, some paddle, some prefer a yacht and a good excuse to stay off land. The outdoors is our playground; the table is where we land after. Expect trail stories, cellar notes, and the occasional reason to open something we’ve been saving. Eat well. Drink seriously.

How Five Friends Rediscovered Their Inner Child (And Made a Wine About It)

Children learn by being inquisitive. By being excited about the unknown. There's a Peter Pan quality to it,  that pull toward exploration and adventure, that willingness to learn through new experiences, good and bad, all while laughing from the bottom of their bellies.

Somewhere along the way, most of us lose that. Life gets serious. Curiosity gets scheduled around calendars and commitments.

We didn't want to lose it entirely.
Late February, and the Motley Crew are back at Infanta for the annual fishing tour, a ritual this group of old friends has kept going for years. As the tide starts to push, three tin boats make their way back to Camp Minx. Prawn baskets are empty after another thrilling afternoon chasing spotted grunter, and the Crew are ready for a cold refreshment. Strict rules on the river: no drinking and fishing. So the Crew are parched, and ready to go.
So, how much time do we have?

I find it fascinating to look at so many winemakers and their different winemaking techniques, styles and flavour perceptions. How they choose their grapes, when they harvest, what influence they have on the grape-growing conditions and, at the end of it all, how they age their wines.

The parallel wine universes are endless.
