Description

Experience the exquisite craftsmanship of our Pinot Noir, meticulously curated from fifteen distinct small batches sourced from our Maroondah Highway vineyard. Each sip unveils a symphony of flavors, with intense Pinosity captivating the senses. Lifted aromas of red cherries and raspberries gracefully transition to darker fruits, accompanied by nuances of sarsaparilla, Turkish delight, and arrowroot biscuit.

Savoury notes of nutmeg, tobacco leaf, and shiitake mushroom broth intertwine with delicate hints of alfalfa and pork rind, adding layers of complexity to the palate. A subtle stemmy undertone provides a harmonious backdrop. The meticulously composed palate gradually unfolds with flavors of red fruits, saffron, and rhubarb, complemented by hints of cinnamon, cardamom, and cocoa nib. Velvety textures of chestnut meal add a luxurious touch.

Hailing from the warmer 2020 Yarra Valley vintage, characterized by minimal crops and tiny bunches, this Pinot Noir exudes elegance and finesse. Its refined profile is underscored by seamlessly integrated tannins and a balanced acidity, ensuring a captivating journey from start to finish. With aging potential exceeding 10 years, this vegan-friendly wine promises to evolve gracefully over time, leaving a lasting impression with its expansive, lingering finish.

Review

Aromatic, smoky nose with hints of truffle and ceps. Precise clusters of tiny berries, fresh citrus, blood orange and dried rose are combined with forest floor nuances to make this quite special. A silky, creamy/coffee texture and smooth and soft tannins, result in an elegant and harmonious wine
