LVS Henk Pinot Noir 2021

The Vineyard Series matches particular varieties with specific sites to gi ve you outstanding examples of single v ineyard wines. This wine was sourced from the north-facing Henk Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Woori Yallock.

VINTAGE 2021 - A long, cool growing season with average crops and abundant rainfall has resulted in wines with outstanding varietal flavour and purity. A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – 80% whole berr y fermentation with 20% whole bunch inclusion in open vessels for two weeks followed by a 10 month maturation in French oak barrels.

Deep crimson red with a garnet hue in appearance. Strong berry fruited aromatics leap from the glass, wild strawberry and red currant transcends to dark cherry and pomegranate. Notes of whole bunch spice and tones of earth add layers and complexity that evolve over time. The palate is medium bodied with a dense and powerful core of red fruit that flows along a soft line of acidity . Well handled soft and velvety tannins are layered within the fruit . Complimentary notes of brown spice and earth add another dimension. Powerful, long and vibrant.
