There’s something undeniably compelling about Pa Pa - the fruit quality is absolutely standout and the winemaking has taken a total hands-off approach. No flashy oak, no extraction games, no intervention. Just pure, unfiltered varietal expression. Sour cherry, raspberry, cranberry. One to sit on for a while or just drink over a couple of days to follow its development. The bones are there. The fruit is there. It just needs patience and maybe a night of poetry?

Xavier Goodridge crafts idiosyncratic expressions of Pinot Noir born in Yarra Valley and on his organically farmed vineyard in Gippsland’s Maffra in Victoria. In collaboration with exceptional growers from the Yarra, Mount Gambier and Henty, he sources the highest quality grapes for his Pa Pa range. With the light touch in the winery, Xavier lets the wines speak of the land.

Xavier’s winemaking style supports his philosophy of letting the vineyard's work shine through in the finished wine. For him, winemaking is the ‘easy part’, as he believes that the foundation for great wines is laid in the vineyard itself. His light touch approach means the wines ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeast to express their natural characteristics without manipulation. Wines are raised in large-format oak, allowing them to mature gently and gracefully.

Xavier’s wines captivate the senses with their purity and lively energy.
