🍷 Light Reds
Tasting Notes

Light, elegant, and savoury Pinot Noir from a cool climate site in the Macedon Ranges.

Perfumed on the nose, with rose petals, florals, currants, and hints of forest floor. Raspberry and sour cherry fruits take centre stage in flavour, accented by subtle spiced notes and a savoury earthiness.
Light and elegantly fresh on the palate, soft and delicate in texture, a well-integrated earthy tannic line, underscored by a fine acid line.
Nerd Notes

Pinot Noir from Doug's Vineyard in the Macedon Ranges.

The vineyard is located in Romsey, a cool-climate sub-region of the Macedon Ranges; located on the foothills of the Cobaw Rangges, sitting at 530m altitude on a North facing slope, with the vines growing in volcanic rocky basalt soil.

Handpicked grapes, separated into three portions. The main was de-stemmed, crushed, and fermented in an open fermented for 10 days with daily punch downs. The remaining grapes were small portions of whole bunch grapes and whole berry grapes, fermented in separate Amphorae.

Post pressing, the wine was transferred to a mixture of mature French oak barriques and Amphora, where it was aged for 14 months, before being blended and bottled.

Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with minimal added sulphur.
