Batista Estate
Bob Peruch’s Batista Estate is in fact two vineyards located a few kilometers apart; one concentrates on pinot noir and chardonnay and the other shiraz.
The vineyards are dedicated to producing high quality fruit, zero irrigation, vertical shoot positioning and a strict organic regime.
The grapes are biologically grown with no added chemicals and low suplhurs in the winemaking. Basket pressing adds to the soft fruit retention.
Batista Estate produces Shiraz, Merlot cabernet and Pinot noir.
With a climate remarkably similar to Bordeaux in the Gironde region of France, and with residents of many strong mid European ethnic backgrounds, Manjimup should become resident to many more vineyards as people come to better appreciate the benefits of the region and the climate.
The crushes are small; averaging between 20 and 60 tonnes.
