The Details

Tasting Note Brooding and restrained when first opened. Aromatics of dark cherry, violet, blackberry, cola, roasted Asian spices and subtle vanillin notes. With time in the glass a softness and savouriness develops adding great complexity. The palate is well defined with dark fruit giving a plush, velvety texture with fine tannins and natural acidity providing a lift to the vibrant and lingering finish.
Best Enjoyed With Nigella crusted roast beef fillet, with masala kipfler potatoes roasted with split peas and baby beetroots; or mushroom and tofu Hokkien mee.
Treatment The fruit was handpicked, a small amount of the bunches were placed directly into the fermenters with the balance being destemmed and placed on top for fermentation. Fermentation took place over 5 days with a couple of plunges, was then pressed and placed into a blend of French oak barriques (30% new) for 10 months. Malolactic fermentation occurred in spring. Selected barrels were blended, bottled and cellared prior to release.

Accolades

'An impressive pinot...'
Deep, bold colour with a tinge of purple at the rim and a bouquet that suggests dark fruit and spicy oak, good concentration and weight, with a backbone of nicely integrated tannins that present with appealing density and fleshiness. An impressive pinot that drinks well now but will richly reward a bit of cellar time.
