The Adelaide Hills experienced another exceptional vintage on the back of one of the best ever in 2021. A wet winter and spring, followed by a dry and mild summer created a long ripening period which led to excellent flavour development whilst maintaining natural acidity.
This 777 clone Pinot Noir was sourced from our very own single vineyard, located just outside of the township of Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills which is situated 421m above sea level. The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch fermented, with careful foot stomping and light pump overs as required. The wine spent 15 days on skins before being racked and matured in French oak barriques for 16 months. Only 1700 bottles of this special wine have been produced.
