REGION NOTES

The wine is sourced from the high altitude Piccadilly Valley & Lenswood Sub regions of the Adelaide Hills, the high elevation and large diurnal shift in temperature provide a very cool environment to produce quality Pinot Noir.

VINIFICATION

Minimal winemaking influence is practiced to ensure the characters of the vineyard thrive, with spontaneous ferments and varying levels of whole bunches in small one tone open ferments. These traditional practices provide incredible aromatics of spice and clove whilst adding fine-layered texture to the wines.

MATURATION

Oak maturation is kept to a minimum with older French oak used for a period of 9-10 months to best express the characters of the vineyard.
