Don't Ever Forget, I'll Always Love You

At the heart of DEFIALY wines lies the masterful touch of Micah Hewitt, a man whose humility matches the approachability of his creations. Though he may shy away from accolades, Micah's dedication to his craft shines through in every bottle, reflecting a deep appreciation for the journey that led him to winemaking.

For Micah, winemaking is not just a profession but a labour of love, grounded in gratitude for the opportunity to work with exceptional fruit and to share the resulting wines with others. His journey is a testament to the virtues of hard work and perseverance, each bottle representing the culmination of years spent honing his craft and refining his approach.

Micah's winemaking philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: keep it handmade, no-tech, and minimal fuss. By prioritizing great fruit and allowing it to shine, he creates wines that are authentic expressions of their time and place. In his newest 2023 release, Micah shows a more sophisticated side that revels in purity and skill. Flexing winemaking techniques; long cold soaks, whole bunch and la flottasion are just a few of the methods at play. When combined with fruit from Heathcote, Mornington and Macedon that's farmed organically by Micas himself; the results are a step forward in complexity and the Defialy journey as a whole.

DEFIALY wines are more than just beverages; they are an invitation to connect—with the land, with the people you love, and with the simple joys of life. Whether enjoyed over a shared meal or savored in quiet contemplation, each bottle is a celebration of community, connection, and the profound beauty of the winemaking process.

In a world that often prizes complexity and sophistication, Micah's wines stand out for their humility and honesty. They remind us that greatness lies not in grandeur but in simplicity, in the ability to appreciate the little things and to find joy in the everyday. So, raise a glass to Micah Hewitt and DEFIALY wines, and toast to the power of passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of authenticity.
