VINTAGE + VINEYARD | Above average rainfall and cool summer. Cool and
dry conditions allowed us to keep fruit on the vines for longer to give greater
complexity and flavour.
This wine is produced from 16 year old Estate fruit, grown on a warmer western
slope at 350m altitude. The rows run East West, preventing sunburn from late
afternoon sun. We have been restoring organic matter to build up the top soil as it
is very shallow. The top soil lies over layers of acidic clay and broken shale.
WINE MAKING | Four Pinot clones were hand picked into small baskets with a
small parcel set aside for whole bunch ferment to enhance the extraction of colour
and aromatics.
After fermentation the skins are pressed out using our traditional basket press and
the wine aged in French oak barriques for 10 months. After this period, we blend
our finest parcels and hand bottle on-site.
