We try our hardest to do as little as possible in the winery with our pinot noir fruit as we spend almost all of our efforts in the vineyard. Shoot thinning, bunch thinning and hand picking all ensure that we have low cropped, intensely flavoured fruit. All we do in the winery is not muck it up! 
The blend is only drawn from the fruit grown on the slope of our front pinot block, where the soil is shallow and gravelly and the north-west aspect creates a warm site in a cool region. As a result, there is tremendous richness and generous fruit flavours that seemlessly marry to supple and refined tannins. Delicious now, with careful cellaring, the flavours will gain complexity and the palate will soften. If you can't wait that long, we love to match the pinot with duck or pork, where the textures and flavours are some well suited.
