The whole bunch component was wound back in 2024 to 12.5%. The wine spent 12 days on skins in an open pot. Pressed to French oak (25% new) for 12 months before racking off malo lees to bottle. The final wine is unfined and unfiltered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 vintage in Main Ridge was defined by tiny yields. Stormy weather in spring disrupted flowering, impacting fruit set and final yields. The resulting wines are intensely flavoured as warm summer temperatures had no problem ripening the meagre crop. The hallmark of this site is its significant acid retention due to its altitude and easterly aspect. Pinot Noir from Ghostgum is muscular and brooding. Three blocks contributed to the final blend: D2V5 clone planted on own roots in 1994, 115 clone planted on own roots in 1999, and 777 clone planted on rootstock in 2002. All blocks were hand picked on 21st March.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.18 g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mornington Peninsula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3333kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Light Medium Bodied)\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Light Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766122545385,"sku":"SOUPNO24-GH-6","price":500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/SouthernLightVineyardsGhostgumPinotNoir202313_750ml.jpg?v=1758007128","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/southern-light-vineyards-ghostgum-pinot-noir-2024-6pack-13-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
