Tasting Notes
Our Lenswood vineyard gives us Pinot Noir of delicacy and fragrance, with fresh acid, and subtle layers of flavour and texture. Deep in colour, with red fruit and spice aromas. Complex and dense with a bright palate and savoury finish.

Growing and Making
Production Notes
Sourced exclusively from our Lenswood property. Planted in 1999, the vineyard reaches 500 meters above sea level. The soil is brown loam over clay with some broken shale and stone on the ridges.
Grapes were hand picked and hand sorted, before being tipped into open fermenters, either as whole bunches (around 20%) or destemmed whole berries. Long, gentle fermentation and maceration followed, then 10 months in new (30%) and used French oak puncheons.

Story
Winemaker Notes
First planted in 1999, our Lenswood vineyard combines high altitude, mature vines, and diverse aspects, including cool east and south facing blocks. It is a great source for wines that can stand alone as single vineyard releases, with the balance to reward ageing.
