Hurley Vineyard

Lodestone Pinot Noir

Tricia Byrnes and Kevin Bell from Hurley first planted vines at their Balnarring property in 1998 with the sole intention of creating three single vineyard pinot noirs. Their philosophy centres around respect of the environment as they see their most important role is viticulture. This is a luscious wine, smelling intensely of blueberries, dark plums, earth and cake spice. The palate is full and smooth with many layers of complexity enveloped in a rich, creamy texture. Ripe and generous but very well balanced, this is a classic Lodestone from an excellent vintage. As with the others, the oak here is classy and judicious.
