"A warm site situated at the northern end of the Peninsula, with an elevation of 30 metres above sea level and a gentle northern slope. Clay loam soils prevail. This is a powerful site, which typically gives structured and dark fruited wines."

Simon Black, Chief Winemaker.

 

"Single vineyard pinot noir release – out of the Mornington Peninsula. Fruit whistling through a forest of twigs, leaves and wood smoke. This is simultaneously characterful and pleasurable. Black cherries and strawberries lay the groundwork but various savoury/minerally inputs fly here and there. Beautiful, it is. "

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.

WINEMAKING NOTES

A highly aromatic wine displaying immense complexity. Blackberry and kirsch notes combine with graphite, cherry, and earthy undertones. There’s a whole-bunch floral and fragrant perfume hovering together with some subtle dried herbs and black olive. The palate is structured, but shows restraint and elegance as the saturating fruits dissolve into the savoury finish. This wine will reward cellaring.
Simon Black
