Star-bright crimson hue; two clones, both old, destemmed but not crushed for whole berry fermentation in open fermenters with 8-10 days on skins, pressed, settled and racked to French barriques for 11 months, held on fine lees without racking until racked for bottling. It has a highly aromatic bouquet with spicy plum aromas leading into a light to medium-bodied palate with savoury/foresty nuances providing a counterpoint to the plummy fruit. The balance and the length cannot be faulted in a wine that does full justice to a great vintage for pinot noir in the Yarra Valley. Its balance, and its screwcap (it is not the least reductive), will allow it to coast past '25 for those who enjoy the full panoply of aromas and flavours of mature pinot noir.
