Wine bread
Made from wine yeast left after fermentation, with a soft texture and unique flavour—ideal for a cheese platter.
Made by hand in Balnarring
Our bread.
Less is best. Time is everything. Every loaf is handcrafted in-house by the bakery team with traditional methods, quality ingredients and no preservatives.
What makes the bread different?
The dough ferments for 18 hours—not two hours like many commercial bakeries.
The breads use a short list of quality ingredients: fresh yeast, superfine salt, Mauri unbleached and stoneground flours, freshly milled locally grown whole wheat, neutral oil and water.
Every loaf is baked on a stone hearth and contains no preservatives. Some sourdoughs ferment for 20–24 hours, including one made from the bakery’s own natural yeast source and a 20-year starter.
Products are seasonal and may not be available at all times. Call ahead if you are visiting for a particular loaf.
