These wines allow our winemakers to experiment with style, structure, taste, and artistic expression and give drinkers of these wines the opportunity of Discovery.

VARIETY: Pinot Noir 100%
IN THE VINEYARD
The 2021 Growing season was temperate compared to traditional seasons in the state. The vines had ideal growing conditions with minimum heat and water stress allowing the two key components of this blend to exhibit more delicate and subtle characteristics normally associated with their varieties. Fermented separately in small open-top vessels, the fruit was handled lightly with minimal mechanical intervention to allow the true nature of the estate-grown fruit to be on display.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
A rich aroma of cherry and cloves is underpinned by a soft savouriness. This depth of aroma transitions seamlessly to the medium to light-bodied wine, with flavours of red forest fruits and ripe cherries being balanced with a soft yet persistent strawberry flavour. The wine is refined by the aged French oak, producing a mouth-filling wine that still retains a crispness that lingers in a long finish.
