Description
Single vineyard wine from Yellingbo in the Upper Yarra Valley. Cane pruned MV6 clone on free draining volcanic red soil with North Easterly aspect at 200m elevation. 20% whole bunches, remainder not crushed for retention of whole berries. Cold soak and fermentation in open fermenters. Wild ferment. Pumped over and hand plunged. Elevage in large format French oak, 30% new Damy Alliers, for 11 months on lees. No fining or filtration. Estate bottled. From another low cropping vintage.
“This is another super release. Read everything you can about Australian pinot noir and then just go out and buy Wanderer and Gembrook Hill. Smoke, red cherries, fragrant herbs, undergrowth and graphite. The tension in this wine is electric; the finish is authoritative; the complexity is inherent and from the first sip to the last you are fully aware that you are in the hands of beauty. But this – at $58, remarkably – and you’re missing out on nothing.” 95+ Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
