Unearthed from our Museum, we thought it was extinct. Fully developed with tertiary flavours of dried blackberries, old wood shed, mushroom and forest floor.
Dark cherry, satsuma plums and red berry aromas savory woodland earthiness with crunchy red berries and fine, firm tannins. An elegant mouthfeel with a fresh finish characteristic of Pinot Noir.
Grapes sourced from the North facing Merricks, Mornington Peninsula vineyard on red volcanic ferrous eroded basaltic soils, picked 6/3/2018. Indigenous fermentation with 50% whole bunches, matured in 50% new French oak barrels, unfined and unfiltered. Note - Same winemaking practices applied to all batches.
“This wine has a beautiful power from the black clay and the typical flavour profile is dominated by rich dark cherry, but always retaining good acidity. The black clay gives it a great, dark brooding character.”
