Tasting Notes
One of the best Pinot's we have seen at the price from the Mornington Peninsula
Peak Drinking: Now - 2028
The Mornington is off the same vineyard we have been working with the last few years, with 20 years age the vineyard is hitting its straps. Predominantly clone 115, with some MV6 and 114. This vineyard is well protected and a consistently delivering south east slope, made up of rich red loam over course gravel.
Wild ferments, with 25-30% whole bunch to aid in the production of structure in the wine and complexity. The slow take off of the wild ferment allows the wine to sit on skins for close to 3 weeks. Then pressed off to 30% new oak and racked twice off lees over an 18 month period in barrel, before going to bottle and allowing to settle for at least 6 months.
