Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Wine Profile

Production notes and Chemistry 

This premium Pinot Noir is a mix of 6 old vine Pinot Noir clones that are dry grown in the red soil at the top of Red Hill.  It is the coolest part of the Mornington Peninsula.  The grapes were hand harvested and destemmed before given a 5 day cold soak when natural fermentation took over.  This beautiful Pinot Noir was aged in french oak, 20% of which was new.  It was aged for 16 months before bottling in November 2020.

Food Pairing

This gold standard Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir would pair well with seared eye fillet strips, bacon lardons and shaved red cabbage slaw.

Reviews

Halliday gave this excellent Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir a 96 and a gold rating.

According to Halliday this gold standard, exceptional quality Pinot Noir is a seductive wine, thanks to its perfume, slinky texture and lightness of touch. Don’t be fooled though, as this has substance. Raw silk tannins add a quality and depth across the medium-bodied palate, with seamlessly integrated oak. Expect cherries and pips, wood smoke, florals and the promise of a lovely drink.
