Winemaking - The fruit for this wine was sourced from vineyards in Tuerong and Balnarring. The fruit was fermented in open vats. Fermentation occurred spontaneously with ambient yeasts and lasted 16 to 18 days. The wine underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The maturation period was ten months in French oak barriques, puncheons (7% new), and large format foudre. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
What it tastes like - A Mornington Pinot that ticks all the boxes; bright fruit, nice spice, and good structure. It's fleshy, fruit forward and rich. The tannins are long, firm and grippy, and the linger throughout the aftertaste, leaving a touch of oaky astringency
