Dark forest berries, black cherry and Asian spice dominate the aromas. The palate is concentrated and deeply saturated with dark berry fruit and a fine silky texture. This wine has great intensity, persistence and a long powerful finish.
Our philosophy is to craft single-vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of our site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression. When a parcel stands out for its individual personality, we take a small amount of that parcel and bottle it separately under our Single Block label. This is just the second release of Block 5 Pinot Noir in a decade, the first was made in 2008.
Winemakers note
Hand-picked and sorted, gently destemmed, partial whole berry adherence for stems, 4 days cold soak, wild-fermented, 14 days on skins, pressed to tight-grain puncheons for 8 months maturation. A layered palate interleaving velvety fruit and hints of forest on the long, medium-bodied palate. Trophy Best Pinot Noir Mornington Peninsula Wine Show.
