Description

A true regional wine style, with fruit from both of our exceptional Yarra Valley vineyards; one on the valley floor and one at the highest elevation in the Upper Yarra Valley.

This is a typical Yarra Valley Pinot Noir with aromas of cherries and summer berries and hints of spice and oak. The palate has juicy red fruits and soft tannin.

'The 2019 Regional Selections Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is sappy and fine-boned, layered with strawberries, cherries and some red apple skins. This is light in body, delicate and pretty—a lovely wine.' Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

SEASON

2019 was a warm season overall and the harvest was early. Cool weather and regular rain up until Christmas made a slow start to the season, setting up good ground moisture and vine health. January and February were dry and fairly mild, though the nights were warmer than usual. Fruit reached full ripeness easily and timing of picking was paramount for balancing natural acidity.

WINEMAKING

The fruit was harvested in mid- February and was destemmed then vinified in open fermenters. The wine was matured for 10 months with French oak.
