The vineyard was first planted in 1996, an accord of family and friends. The original planting consisted of Chardonnay, Roussanne and Pinot Noir on the steeper south facing section of the property. Ensuing years saw a joint venture between Michel Chapoutier, Rick Kinzbrunner and Peter Graham expand plantings to feature Shiraz and Nebbiolo.

Domenica was officially launched in 2012 after Peter became sole owner and manager of the vineyard and property. From years of intimate experience farming this site, Peter has expanded the early plantings of Chardonnay and Nebbiolo which so successfully express the shallow granitic soil. Gamay joined the lineup in 2022 and Chenin Blanc in 2024.

Tasting Notes

"The juice fermented in a mixture of 600 litre demi-muids and 228 litre barriques. As usual, the new oak component is around 20%. 2024 has produced a wine of startling purity - a true representation of site. Stone fruit, white flowers and ginger aromatics lead to a mineral driven entry. The light toast, larger format oak brings depth and texture in the mid-palate, allowing the fruit to expand and carry through the full length of the wine." Domenica
