With vibrant red fruit aromas including cherry, strawberry,  raspberry, and earthy notes of leather, forest floor, along with accents of spice. This Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir is rich and full.
 
Our Pinot Noir vineyard is dry grown and nearly thirty years old in the Macedon Ranges, surrounded by the beautiful Wombat State Forest. With a diverse and thriving eco system to work with, the soil hosts at least seven different types of rock  including quartz, sandstone, and ironstone. Here we grow Pinot Noir of two clones being D5V12 and MV6, on two very different aspects of the vineyard. 
 
In the winery, a low intervention approach was undertaken to allow the fruit to really take centre stage. Gently crushed, and left to rest on skins before being pressed off and placed into barrels for a year. 
 
The result is a medium bodied wine of incredible complexity, with weight and length. Drinking now or cellar for 10+ years. 
 
Food match: roasted duck, lamb, mushrooms, truffle-infused dishes, and certain cheeses like Brie and Gouda
