2023 was a cool vintage that produced exceptional wines across all varieties. Despite the delayed harvest caused by the cooler growing season, a mild summer with just a few hot days that allowed our fruit to mature gradually. Consequently, Airlie Bank Pinot Noir boast complex and elegant flavours, fine tannins, and beautiful acidity.
The wine is made from multiple blocks and multiple clones of Pinot Noir from the Napoleone Vineyard. 40% whole bunch and 60% whole berry fermented with native yeasts. Gently handled during fermentation and minimal use of French oak hogshead barrels to maximise freshness.
