The soul of what we do at Novum comes from being close to it – seeing firsthand how the grapes respond to the season, watching the ferment move in the tank, tucking lateral canes, hand picking, plunging.
These are the quiet joys of making wine, and they allow us to respond intuitively to the nature that surrounds us.
We understand and embrace technology where it genuinely helps. But wine, in its truest form, is a creative endeavour, and creativity is best felt up close – by hand.
Guided by hand, driven by curiosity
-
Hand Grown
Using the human hand and eye to create a beautiful, balanced canopy in each vineyard. Fruit thinning, tressage and more.
-
Hand Picked
The best bunches aren't always the obvious ones. Picking by hand allows us to carefully select the right fruit.
-
Hand Made
Every step of our winemaking is done by hand. When you are right there doing the work yourself, you notice things — and those things make better wine.
-
Hand Stirred
Making the most of the earth's natural gravitational pull. We stir the lees resting on the base of the barrel to help increase texture and weight in our wines.
-
Hand Waxed
Our final signal that every bottle has been carefully checked and sealed by us, personally, before it leaves our hands.
