Tasting Notes

Very fine, floral and aromatic. Sweet cherries and strawberries with some fine fruity notes. So refined and elegant. The palate is bright, silky but with nice definition and structure, with lovely elegance and refinement. Fine herbal and cured meat notes add complexity, with a hint of white pepper. Nice grip on the finish. Thrilling wine with floral fruit and nice elegance, but also potential for development.

Made with 20% whole bunches. All D clones. Matured in barriques (20% new). A light, very bright crimson. Smells like a rose garden with a little lavender thrown in! You'll also find aromas of sour cherries and blood oranges. Poised, elegant and persistent, this flows mellifluously across the palate. A classic Upper Yarra pinot, driven as much by its fine vein of acidity as its silken tannins.
