- A complex and beautifully balanced Pinot Noir, with layers of fresh and dried fruit, toasty nutmeg spice, and earthy notes, which seamlessly flow like fine silk through to an everlasting finish. 2021 was an excellent vintage. The cooler growing season, with perfect day and night temperatures, resulted in a lovely natural balance. No manipulation in the vineyard was required; this vintage has produced some of the best fruit the vineyard has seen.

The flagship Pinot Noir is only made from the best grapes in the best years. The Pinot Noir grapes were fermented in an open fermenter with a combination of wild and selected yeasts, lasting 10 days with skin contact for 10 days to impart refined structure, flavours, and aromas. It was racked to 500-litre French oak puncheons, of which 15% were new, where it spent 10 months maturing.

Winery | Situated just 45 kilometres east of Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is a large and diverse cool-climate wine region. Its elevation spectacularly ranges from lows of 50m to heights of 1,250m due to the influence of the Great Dividing Range. The region is characterized by significant rainfall during winter and spring, which helps to nourish the vines throughout the dry but cool summers. The estate Pinot Noir vines for this wine are all MV6 clones, which vary in age from five to 22 years. They are cane-pruned VSP trained, which suits the terroir of Duplex grey loam over yellow clay soils. In each vintage, precision viticulture is used to map and isolate the finest parcels from the best blocks and even the best rows. Such practices include innovative soil and canopy mapping technology known as EM38; this enables the viticulture team to unearth microvariations within the parcels. The vineyard is hand-harvested. |
