VARIETY - 100% Pinot Noir
REGION - Adelaide Hills

Vineyard

This wine was made with grapes grown on vines close-planted on two gentle, south-west facing slopes in a cool valley south of Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. The vines are carefully manicured, with shoot and bunch thinning throughout the season and a VSP trellis system, allowing dappled light onto the fruit without exposing it to excessive sun.

Winemaking

The fruit was hand-picked and destemmed into open fermenters with 10% whole bunches included in the ferment. It was cold soaked for 48 hours before inoculation with cultured yeast and fermented over 8 days with only gentle hand-plunging of the cap. The wine was then basket-pressed and matured in a mix of new and seasoned French oak barrels for 9 months prior to bottling without fining or filtration.

The Wine

This Pinot Noir is bright cherry red in colour and displays a fragrant nose with aromas of morello cherries, raspberries and cloves supported with subtler hints of oak and earthy spice. The palate is light bodied and refreshing with red berry and plum fruit, with hints of dried mushrooms, leather and anise. Silky tannins and fine acidity support the flavours creating a moreish wine of finesse and complexity.
