Hand-picked D clone pinot noir with two weeks on skins and 20% whole-bunch fermentation before being pressed straight to older French puncheons and barriques (no new oak) for maturation and malolactic fermentation.
A delicate, pretty and fragrant representation of pinot noir from the Upper Yarra.
‘Partial whole-bunch fermentation (20%) and three days on skins before maturation in older French puncheons and barriques. A very bright crimson. Red-fruited and perfumed with its dusting of alpine flowers and gentle spice. Light to medium bodied with well-judged, fine-grained, 'al dente' tannins and the bright acidity that's always been the hallmark of wines from this cool site. A joy to drink now and over the next few years.’
