TASTING NOTES

This is a distinctive Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir with captivating floral aromas, fresh berry and cherry fruit flavours and silky tannin. A medium-bodied wine, it has excellent depth of colour and flavour with a touch of spicy oak complexity.

SEASON

By March, ‘unprecedented’ was already the catchword for 2020, a term that could equally describe the season and vintage. Early spring 2019 was unremarkable – the usual changeable weather on the Mornington Peninsula with overall dry conditions. A short patch of smoke haze from bushfires in New South Wales and Gippsland came early enough that fruit was unaffected. Unlike many other regions in eastern Australia, the season was quite cool and we had some rain, so that fruit retained great natural acid and was naturally low yields with excellent flavour.

WINEMAKING

The fruit is from select vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula. The fruit was hand-picked and chilled overnight before being destemmed and sorted by hand. The must was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel with hand plunging and pumping over. The wine was matured for 11 months in a mix of old and new French oak barrels from selected Burgundian coopers.
