The grapes were hand-picked, meticulously hand-sorted, and destemmed. A cold soak took place for three to four days prior to fermentation, which took place in open-topped one-tonne vats using natural yeasts. Fermentation lasted four to six weeks to maximise the aromatics. The wine was pressed to old, 500-litre oak puncheons of three to four years and matured in oak for 12 months. This wine was not filtered or fined before being bottled.

| Winery | Planted in 1999, the grapes come from a 5.5-hectare block of Pinot Noir in the Mornington Peninsula. The clones are a mix of MV6, 114, and 115. Situated at an elevation of 65 metres with a north-western orientation, the vineyard has a great airflow, which minimises disease pressure as the canopy dries quickly. The sandy loam soil provides excellent drainage, essential nutrients for vine health, and imparts minerality to the flavour profile. |
