Latta Vino

Coghills Creek, Victoria

SUSTAINABLE - MINIMAL INTERVENTION - VEGAN

Owen Latta is a generational winemaker from Coghills Creek, where his family planted Eastern Peake vineyard in the early 1980s—an ideal cool-climate site identified by Trevor Mast for premium Pinot Noir. This deep connection to terroir shaped Owen’s philosophy, leading him to establish LATTA VINO, a project focused on alternative varietals from lesser-known Western Victoria subregions.

Since 2012, Owen has crafted small-batch, expressive wines with a minimal intervention approach, allowing each vineyard to speak for itself. His Sauvignon Blanc follows Loire Valley techniques—wild fermented, aged on lees, and textured yet precise. His Precarious 02 Bianco, a co-ferment of multiple varieties, defies classification, blending innovation with tradition.

LATTA VINO is a balance of creativity and precision, respecting classic winemaking while pushing boundaries. Owen’s wines challenge convention, capturing both place and personality in every bottle, making him a standout voice in Western Victoria’s wine scene.
