Stonier Pinot Noir 2025 13.5% 750ml
TASTING NOTES
AROMA
Red to blue fruits, and far more density and depth than previous Stonier Pinot’s. The typical varietal aromas of wild strawberry and foraged pine mushrooms are prevalent, but the palate is where the wine shines brightest.
PALATE
Full and brooding through the mid palate and finishing with svelte tannin, this will suitably deliver for lovers of Pinot.
REGION NOTES
The fruit for Stonier Pinot Noir is derived from a selection of mature vineyards scattered across the Mornington Peninsula, with a focus towards the region’s cooler south, near out small town of Merricks where the winery is located.
VINTAGE NOTES
2025 will no doubt be described by many as on the great vintages of the last 25 years, if not the greatest. A warm spring and early summer rainfall gave way to an extended warm and dry period but without significant heat spikes. The above average temperatures in Spring ensured that the season ran early and all fruit was in the winery before April. Notable increase in colour and colour stability was seen in Pinot which we attribute to both the season and increased vineyard health as we progress further into the new ownership and refocussed farming.
VINIFICATION
In 2025, it was evident early that there was going to be a good amount of fruit weight and stem ripeness was also developing early. As such, the inclusion of stem rose to around 15% in the 2025 version of this wine. Pinot Noir ferments were hand-picked, chilled overnight, 15% bunch inclusion on the base of the fermenter (all 2.3 or 2.6 T stainless open tops), with remainder of the fruit going over the sorting line before whole berry destemming. 100% Wild ferments. Upon evidence of fermentation (cap formation), ferments are plunged only once day. Everything about the process is attempting lengthen the time on skins to 17-19 days.
