Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
2023 was a very long and cool season producing elegant, well-structured wines with excellent ageing potential.
This wine is produced from 16 year old Estate fruit, grown at our Longwood property on a warmer western slope at 350m altitude. The rows run East West, preventing sunburn from late afternoon sun. We have been restoring organic matter to build up the top soil as it is very shallow. The top soil lies over layers of acidic clay and broken shale.
Winemaker Notes
Four Pinot clones (predominantly MV6) were hand picked into small baskets followed by a cold soak pre-ferment to enhance the extraction of colour and aromatics.
After fermentation the skins are pressed out using our traditional basket press and the wine aged in French oak barriques for 10 months (25% new oak). After this period, we blend our finest parcels and hand bottle on-site.
