Totally de-stemmed, whole berry ferments. Hand plunged once a day, increasing to twice daily during peak ferment. Gently pressed with final 50-100L/t separated off to avoid hard tannins. |

Destemmed with 15% new oak; puncheons only. A good start for Brendan Hawker's first vintage as senior winemaker. A medium ruby-crimson red. Brightly fruited with black cherry and plum fruit, together with a little spice. Medium bodied, this well-made wine has good depth, balanced by fine tannins and crunchy acidity.

This is a quality pinot noir for this price. It’s from a very good year in the Yarra Valley and provides exceptional drinking for this price. Bright cherry notes on the nose with a spicy clove-like character. The palate is medium weight but surprisingly plush. Has that typical pinot bony tannin structure, while the mix of some new and largely older oak sits harmoniously.
