Beautifully aromatic, this pinot noir sings of raspberries and roses complemented by earthy undertones. It’s rich and vibrant plum, raspberry and cherry flavours are balanced by great acidity and silky tannins. A fantastic match for five spice pan-fried duck breast with Asian greens, lamb cutlets or suckling pig.
The resulting wine is bright and perfumed, with notes of strawberried, cherries, and complex spice undertones.
100% Pinot Noir
Following an average of 8 days of fermentation, the wine was gently pressed in an airbag press and drained to 15% new oak and 85% 2-4 year old French oak barriques. The wine went through secondary malolactic fermentation in barrel and remained on malo lees until early January when it was racked to tank, filtered, and bottled.
The palate is mouth-filling and creamy, displaying rich and vibrant fruit, hints of star anise, and is supported by silky tannins and well-balanced acidity.
Our 2017 Pinot Noir was handpicked at optimal flavour/phenolic ripeness, destemmed and cold soaked prior to fermentation. It is comprised of 3 different vineyards – 2 from the Upper Yarra Valley and , from the Coldstream sub-region of the Yarra Valley. The parcels were handled individually, and individual clones were fermented in small batch open fermenters. Some parcels were wild fermented while others were inoculated with selected cultivated strains isolated from Burgundy.

We aim to make wines that are an honest reflection of this stunning region, wines with elegance, restraint, complexity, and balance. The vineyards are predominantly from the upper yarra valley due to the cooler micro climate that helps us capture the elegance and finesse of this noble variety. We are focused on allowing the vineyards to express themselves in the resulting wines, and therefore have used traditional winemaking techniques such as small batch fermentation, wild yeast, and delicate use of French oak, in order to achieve this. We think this Pinot has achieved this aim, and at the end of the day it’s also a great drop to simply kick back and enjoy with your friends, family and loved ones!
