Technical Analysis
This Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is part of a carefully selected Reserve range that aims to epitomise the best these regions have to offer.
Tasting note
Bright medium red colour with perfumed sour cherry and supporting French oak notes. Full, soft palate with berry and spice finishing with fine
tannins – a great Pinot Noir vintage.
Vinification details
Harvested during the cool early morning temperatures, the grapes were destemmed without delay, except for a small percentage of whole bunches which were added directly to the fermentation vessels. The fruit was allowed to soak at cool temperatures before fermentation commenced. The wine was gently pressed off skins before aging in French oak for 12 months. The re-vatted wine was allowed to settle before bottling. It was bottled under screw cap to preserve aromatics and fruit expression.
