Hand picked on the 19th of march at 13.4 baume and cropped at 4.2 t/Ha. This is from one of the oldest close planted pinot noir blocks in Victoria planted in 1989 at 8,310 plants/Ha. This was sorted and destemmed to fermenter for a 100% whole berry fermentation. It was pumped over twice/day for 10 days before the ferment was foot stomped to aid in extraction. After pressing at 13 days, the wine transferred to a mix of 2 barriques and 1 hogshead where it completed malolactic conversion and rested on lees for 11 months maturation before bottling in February 2026.
Reviews:
“Exceptionally fragrant, with aromas of wild strawberry, perfectly ripe red cherry, floral notes and alpine herbs such as wild thyme and gentian. Concentrated and finely detailed, the tannins are almost hidden by the wine's plush, beautifully fruited and energetic palate. Finishes long and satisfying. As good as this is now, those that still have a bottle or two in their cellar 10 or so years from now will be well rewarded.”
