Adelaide Hills is around 3°C cooler than McLaren Vale where all our other reds are sourced, this cooler climate is ideal for premium Pinot Noir. This clone of Pinot Noir is D4V2 which is a University California Davis clones and we believe produces some of the best Pinot Noir grapes in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoils\u003c\/strong\u003e: The soils in this vineyard are clay loam soils from the Prospect Hill volcanic geological complex. These have great water holding capacity and are quite fertile, so little irrigation is required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 April 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pinot grapes were picked in early April while it was cool so arrived at the winery at a perfect temperature for ferment that allowed for bright fresh fruit flavour retention. Gentle treatment through ferment involved minimal 'handling' of the fruit, with cap wetting of the ferment twice daily to extract flavour, colour, and tannins from the skins. After 8 days ferment on skins, the wine was pressed to seasoned oak for 3 months before early bottling.  \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Manrope; mso-fareast-font-family: DengXian; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eLifted bright cherry fruits with elegant spicy notes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003eThese cherry notes follow onto the palate which is medium bodied as well as notes of dark berries and earthy spice.
