Yarra Valley, VIC, Australia
"Made from MV6 planted in 1996; 70% whole berries,30% whole bunches; matured in hogsheads and puncheons (30% new). A light, bright crimson cherry. Fragrant with aromas of cranberries and strawberries, some whole-bunch derived dried rose petals and a soupçon of Asian spices. It's a pretty wine but it has depth and structure too, finishing long with fine-grained and persistent tannins and a refreshing bitter orange twist."
The 2021 Pinots are delicate and finer than 2020's, which is predictable from the cooler season. A homage to the Pinot Noir that used to be made, this showcases the classic 'Upper Yarra' characteristics. It offers a similar purity and prettiness to the 2012 vintage whilst still having great structure and concentration, an iron fist in a velvet glove. This wine sees the first introduction of different clones, Pommard and Abel. Whilst these wines have not supplied much to the volume of the blend, it sees a great future in how it contributes to flavor and structure of the wine.
