Estate Pinot Noir
2023 Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Brilliant crimson this wine sparkles in the glass. The aromatics are fresh and lifted with notes of raspberry, blood orange, fresh cut plum and rosehip florals. The pal-ate shows delicate red fruits, cherry, macerated strawberries with alluring spice, baked earth and delicious acidity. This fine and silky tannin of this Pinot is all wrapped up in a powerful, long finish.

- Vintage Notes
The 2023 growing season was the fourth cool season in a row. These 2020- 2023 La Nina seasons will be remembered for their challenges, but also the lovely ele-gant wines they have produced. Cool is one thing, but wet and humid is another. Extreme October-December rains and high humidity kept the vineyard team on it’s toes. Keeping the vineyard disease free and balanced during this period was the key to this wonderful vintage. From Jan-April we saw welcome dry periods with all fruit picked between March 10th and April 4th.
- Vineyard Notes
Our Estate vineyard Pinot Noir is a blend of two blocks (all MV6), the gravelly, hungrier duplex clays of the North facing B block (75% of blend) and the cooler loamy brown soils on the south facing C block (25% of blend).
