Ten Minutes by Tractor Up The Hill Pinot Noir 2024

The 2022 ‘Up the Hill’ Estate Pinot Noir is sourced from the estates Main ridge and Red Hill vineyard sites; Judd, Wallis, McCutcheon and Spedding. These vineyards are all situated on higher elevations from 125m to 206m above sea level resulting in fruit that is pure and delicate, creating a refined and elegant style of Pinot Noir.

The fruit for this wine is all handpicked and sorted upon arrival at the winery. Each parcel was cold soaked to allow for maximum colour extraction before wild fermentation begins. Fermentation occurs in both stainless steel and concrete vessels, to add textural complexity. Once completed the wine is pressed off and matured in oak vessels (15% New) for 8 months. Oak vessels are both barrique and puncheon sizes.
