Plum red with a strawberry hue. Fresh and vibrant aromas of strawberries and spice with a smattering of mountain herbs creates intrigue from the get-go. There is a succulence to the aromas, indicating perfectly picked pinot noir fruit. Hints of blueberries and delicately interwoven five-spice are also present, together with wet tree-fern aromas that transport the consumer straight to the Upper Yarra. On the palate, a lip-smacking burst of strawberries and raspberries are delivered on a glossy and lacey frame. It’s the shiny side of a red kookaburra cricket ball – polished. There is just enough presence to the tannins, which are ever so fine and fan-out on the palate as the gentle line of acidity carries the wine to great depth. Classic cool climate pinot noir from the Yarra Valley.

This wine was sourced from the north facing Willowlake Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Gladysdale.

A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine: whole berry/bunch fermentation in open vessels for two weeks followed by an 11 month maturation in French oak vessels.

A cool wet spring and summer followed by a dry and temperate autumn has delivered balanced crops in near perfect harvesting conditions. The resulting wines show elegant varietal flavours, freshness, and balanced acidities.
