“A blend of two fantastic Upper Yarra Pinot sites in Gladysdale, Macclesfield and Steels Creek. All natural ferments with 25% whole bunch plus an average of 15-20 days on skins. Aged for 10 months in French oak Barrique’s and Puncheons (10% new). Bottled by gravity, un-fined and unfiltered.
A bright ruby, red colour with aromas that are very delicate and smokey at first with raspberries, cherries spice and strewn herbs coming into play. The more air this gets the better it becomes, revealing its true pristine red berry aromas (that will come naturally with more time in the bottle). The palate follows suit, being delicate and pure fruited, red cherries, raspberry with a delicate spice. Very fine tannins, texture and freshness are all here. Reminiscent of my 2015 Appellation Pinot for those who remember it.”
