{"title":"Patrick Sullivan","description":"\u003cp\u003ePatrick Sullivan grew up in rural Victoria and planted his first vines at the age of twelve. That early immersion in the vineyard shaped a philosophy he has pursued ever since: that great wine is grown, not made. Today, from a small farm in the Strzelecki Ranges of Gippsland, he produces some of Australia's most precise and site-specific Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, earning a reputation that extends well beyond the natural wine community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSullivan studied viticulture at Roseworthy Agricultural College and spent time in London at Selfridges wine department before returning to Victoria to work alongside respected producers including Bill Downie and Anna Martens. He launched his own label in 2010, initially sourcing fruit from leased land before purchasing his own farm in the Strzelecki Ranges in 2015 with his wife Megan. The Tumblestone vineyard, planted in 2016, has been producing since 2022 and sits at the centre of his longer-term ambitions for the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/patrick-sullivan\"\u003ePatrick Sullivan producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jumpin-juice-sunset-patrick-sullivan-australia-natural-wine","title":"Patrick Sullivan Jumpin' Juice Sunset 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eJumpin' Juice is a collaboration between Patrick Sullivan and Xavier Goodridge, two Gippsland-based winemakers who joined forces to source fruit freely from across Victoria and beyond. The Sunset bottling is their signature warm-weather wine: Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer are both fully fermented on skins, while Shiraz spends a shorter time on skins before the three are blended together. The result sits firmly between a rosé and an orange wine in color, texture, and intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, expect tropical fruit punch forward — guava, ripe raspberry, and lychee — backed by a hint of green herbs and rose. The palate delivers that same crunchy, lush character with bright acidity and a faint saline pull on the finish. It is a light, textured, drink-now wine with more grip than a typical rosé and more brightness than most orange wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is farmed organically and biodynamically (uncertified). Winemaking is minimal intervention: little to no additions, and the wine is built for early drinking rather than cellaring.
