Tasting notes

This is Pinot Noir from Basket Range, one of the most distinctive cool-climate pockets in South Australia, grown at 450 metres on ancient sandstone and clay soils. Alex Schulkin makes it with zero additions, which keeps the red cherry and cranberry fruit unobscured and the texture genuinely lively.

The Other Right 'All Fruits Ripe' is 100% Pinot Noir sourced from the Broderick family's organically farmed vineyard in Basket Range, Adelaide Hills. The Broderick vineyard sits at approximately 450 metres elevation on steep hillsides with ancient soils of sandstone, ironstone, quartz, and red and blue clay. Pinot Noir is planted on the cooler south and southeast-facing aspects of the site.

Winemakers Alex Schulkin and Galit Shachaf make this wine with zero additions — no sulfur, no fining agents, no filtration. Fermentation proceeds on native yeasts. The result is a wine that reflects the cool-climate fruit character of Basket Range without intervention or correction.

At 12.5% ABV, this is a light, fresh expression of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir — bright red fruit, live acidity, and a fine-boned structure typical of the elevation and the vintage. The absence of SO2 keeps the fruit vivid and the texture supple.

Works well with dishes that do not overpower light red fruit — think duck confit, mushroom-based pastas, or a good margherita pizza. The lack of tannin and bright acidity also make it a solid match for charcuterie and mild soft cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 58-60°F.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.


Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.


Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

The Other Right

The Other Right is the wine project of Alex Schulkin and Galit Shachaf, a husband-and-wife team based in Ashton in the Adelaide Hills. They started the label in 2012. Alex's day job is as a wine scientist at the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), which gives him an unusually technical grounding for a natural winemaker.

From vintage 2016 onward, all fruit used by The Other Right comes from vineyards managed under organic and sustainable farming practices. Grapes are sourced from multiple sites around the Adelaide Hills, including fruit from the Broderick family's organically farmed vineyard in Basket Range.

Winemaking at The Other Right is kept to a strict minimum. No additives are used at any stage — no sulfur, no fining agents, no acidification or chaptalisation. Native yeast fermentation is standard practice. The goal is wine that is precise and fresh, with youth and acidity intact.

Wine region

Adelaide Hills, Australia

Adelaide Hills is a cool-climate wine region in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges, stretching roughly 70 kilometres from north to south. Vineyards sit between 400 and 700 metres above sea level, with the most acclaimed sites concentrated between 300 and 550 metres. The region is bordered by the Barossa to the north, Eden Valley to the east, and McLaren Vale to the southwest. Summers are cool and dry; winters are crisp with most rainfall occurring in winter and spring.

Soils across the region are variable, ranging from sandy loams and gravelly loams to clay subsoils, with shale, ironstone, and sandstone appearing across different sites. The two formally recognised sub-regions are Lenswood and Piccadilly Valley, both among the coolest and highest-altitude areas. Adelaide Hills is South Australia's leading region for Pinot Noir, producing wines that are typically medium- to light-bodied with bright acidity and fine tannin. Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are also important, with the latter used significantly in sparkling wine production.
