The Estate Pinot Noir is sourced purely from our six preferred clones on the estate. The fruit is de-stemmed via a small, customised, gentle de-stemmer that keeps as many whole berries as possible. Some whole bunches are included, the percentage varying according to the style of the vintage. After fermentation, the fruit is basket pressed direct to a combination of old and new French oak barriques. The wine is made without any additions until bottling. 

Bouquet
Fresh strawberries, stewed rhubarb, red fruits and wet earth entwine with a lifted floral perfume. Complexing woody spice is woven with root vegetable, with faint hints of five spiced mushroom broth.

Palate
Red cherry, fresh raspberry and dark pastille lolly are layered with forest floor savoury notes. Fine tannins and a pristine acid line drive the wine across the palate to a classic peacock tail finish.

Growing Conditions
The Piccadilly Valley was impacted by cool weather during flowering, resulting in reduced volumes for the 2024 vintage. A wetter than average December and January made way for a warm and dry February with excellent conditions for ripening. Consecutive hot days in the second week of March accelerated things and harvest was completed by March 12.

“A succulent, oh-so-pure, fresh and revitalising pinot noir of compact texture, bright flavour, ebullient perfume, satisfying tannin and lip-smacking deliciousness. It nails the brief. Red cherry, a dusting of sweet spice, some alpine herbs, a touch of cedar and clove with light truffle and mushroom savouriness. A beautiful wine, with perfect pinosity. Fun and wonderful drinking ensues.”

"This is an excellent wine with real clarity of fruit and precision, showing underlying power and generosity. Aromas of wild red berries, spices, earth, mushrooms, potpourri, citrus peel and river stones. The palate has ultra-refined tannins and a plush, rounded mouthfeel, bringing depth of flavor, focused acidity and a spice- and earth-driven finish. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
