Tasting note

Magnificent Pinot Noir from Australia's Mornington Peninsula, perfumed with black cherry, summer berries and dried rose petals, followed by a beguiling mouthful of cranberries and more cherry.

Viticulture

Kooyong vineyard in Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong, on Miocene sedimentary soils. Wines from handpicked, estate-grown grapes express terroir: the fusion of geology, soils, and microclimates within the vineyard, reflecting the region's macroclimate and seasonal weather.

Vinification

The fruit was fermented in open vats. Fermentation commenced

spontaneously with ambient yeasts and lasted for 16 to 18 days.

The wine underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The

maturation period was 10 months in French oak barriques (8%

new) and large format foudre. The wine was bottled without

fining and with minimal filtration.

Food Match

Excellent with roast chicken or Moroccan style lamb!
