94 / 100"a masterclass in balance and finesse from the Adelaide Hills. Bursting with vibrant red fruit—think cherries, wild strawberries, and cranberries—it also offers a whisper of rose petal and earthy undertones. On the palate, the interplay between supple tannins and bright acidity keeps it lively, with subtle spice and forest floor notes adding depth. Impeccably crafted, this Pinot is approachable yet sophisticated, showcasing the region’s flair for elegant, modern winemaking. Perfect for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring."

Tasting Notes
The Pinot Noir sits on a south-eastern facing slope at high altitude. Our twin palm trees over look these vineyards. Fruit is hand harvested from two blocks planted to three clones (114, 145 and 777). Both blocks were spur pruned to low bud numbers and shoot thinned early followed by a bunch thin at veraison to remove variability and allow even ripening. Handpicked fruit is chilled down in a cool room before processing, ensuring purity and flavour without oxidization. Fruit was harvested at the start of March, then crushed, chilled before ferment 100% underwent a cool ferment in stainless steel and then in old French oak puncheons for 6 months.
