{"title":"Latta Vino","description":"\u003cp\u003eOwen Latta did his first vintage when he was 14 years old, and has been firmly in the magical orbit of winemaking and grape growing ever since. In 2006 he took over his family biz, Eastern Peake, and launched his Latta label in 2013. From over a decade Owen has farmed organically, and is moving into biodynamics. 2024 marks his 26th vintage, (he’s only 40!). That’s 26 years making wine at the same place, from the same grapes, grown at the same site.
