The Balnarring site lies just 10 kilometres from Garagiste’s flagship Merricks vineyard but gives a distinctly different expression: a slightly darker fruit profile and fine, grainy tannin structure. Most years, the site forms the backbone of the Stagiaire Pinot and Chardonnay, but in seasons like 2025, with good yields and top-quality fruit, Barney makes a small-batch, single-site wine. The MV6 vines were planted in 1996 and lie on the region’s signature brown/grey loamy soils.
