Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

The philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of the site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression. A warm summer with resultant early harvest, produced wines that have great intensity, detailed structure and excellent depth of flavour. The fruit was handpicked, with each parcel handled separately in the winery. Each parcel went into traditional oak open fermenters. The fermentation was hand plunged up to three times per day. No fining, light filtration. Deep crimson, the pinot noir has an incredibly perfumed and nuanced floral aroma. The palate is finely structured, concentrated and plush with a host of tightly packed red berry fruits. Polished and poised, the glossy sheen of subtle French oak is beautifully integrated in the background. The slightly chalky tannins have lovely finesse and delicacy, with a supple texture and incredible length. Stored carefully, this wine will age gracefully for at least 10 years.
