The wine has a lovely soft strawberry and spice characteristic. On the palate it is delicate, and dry with strawberry flavours and a fine texture, following a lovely finish with balanced acid.

Vineyard

Grey/brown clay loam, typically low in pH, phosphorus and potassium.  Topsoil is 20-30cm deep, over acidic clay subsoil.  Vineyard aspect ranges from north through to north east. 

Winemaking

The wine is made from Estate grown Pinot Noir, which had a combination of  winemaking methods.  A portion is gently whole bunch pressed, another portion is soaked on skins for 12 hours, while a third portion is pressed then barrel fermented.  This combination helps build complexity on the palate, while retaining finesse. After settling the juice is inoculated with yeast for a long, cool ferment to preserve freshness of flavour and aroma.
