There's a physical aspect to making Pinot Noir that demands a close-up, hands-on connection between winemaker and fruit. It begins with hand harvest and intensifies throughout the following weeks of fermentation management before rolling to barrel for the long months of relative quiet and gradual evolution. Imbedded in this process is a genuine sense of work, of craft and perhaps even art. Each vintage of our Pinot Noir bears a clear imprint of the season that has shaped it. Characters of colour, aroma, fruit flavour and structure each convey part of this complex story. Indeed, by adopting a light-handed winemaking approach, we aim to allow the wine to express itself honestly.

?A little shy at first, but opening up to reveal wild raspberry and red berry fruit notes. An interesting wine that wasn't immediately forthcoming but built in interest and complexity the longer it sat in the glass, Excellent concentration and length. 5 Stars Winestate July/Aug 2017
