2023
Estate Pinot Noir

Dense and driven. Plum skin, black cherry, spice and something garrigue-y and maybe some smoke. Brooding, with a firm tannin grip. Power, tension and a finish that doesn’t give.

More muscle, less lift - but it moves with grace all the same.

Vineyard

Most of the fruit came from the close-planted Pinot block at the top of the north-east slope. Vines planted tight at 1.5 x 0.8 metres, with roots that run deep. It’s powerful Pinot, yet still carries the line and lift that granite brings. The block catches soft morning sun and stays sheltered from the worst of the weather, a steep but protected pocket.

Vinification

Picked on March 15, a little later than the year before. Fermented with 10 % whole bunches and left on skins for 12 days with gentle pump-overs. Pressed to French oak puncheons (one-third new) and left to do its thing for 10 months.

Bottled without fining or filtration.

Vintage

2023 gave us time: cool, calm and even. Pinot Noir relished it. Flavour came on slow and steady, acid stayed poised, and everything ripened in sync. No rushing, no overthinking... just nice and ripe.
