Background
The Yarra Valley Range showcases the best of our vineyard selections, with an emphasis on Upper Yarra Valley sites.
Tasting Notes
Pale salmon in colour. Aromas of Fuji apple, red berry fruit, crushed strawberry and Turkish delight with notes of pink grapefruit and a flick of gun flint reduction. The palate is dry, yet supple and welcoming; juicy red fruit and citrus flavours are entwined with creamy textural notes all driven by a fresh pink grapefruit acid line.
Vineyard Notes
A selection of Pinot Noir, Syrah, Meunier and Pinot Gris from premium vineyards in Coldstream, Gladsydale and Woori Yallock.
Winemaker's Notes
Selected parcels of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Pinot Meunier were handpicked and whole bunch pressed directly to old French oak barrels for natural fermentation, while the Pinot Grigio parcel was fermented and left on skins for a period of 4 weeks. A selection of saignée barrels where lightly coloured juice is bled from the vats after 24 hours on skins, then barrel fermented in French oak casks, was also included into the final blend. This wine is made in a dry savoury style.
Vintage Notes
A cool and long growing season with low crop levels and abundant rainfall has resulted in finely detailed wines of purity, length and complexity.
