Only 500 bottles of our 2024 Reserve Pinot Noir were produced. This is a wine we’re really proud of, made from two barrels that stood out during élevage for their balance, character and expression of the vineyard. Around 50% of the wine comes from our oldest vines in the Mv6 Minetta block, with the remainder coming from our Mv6 planting from 2017. The older vines offer juicy, jubey, lifted red fruit and exceptional length, while the younger block brings a compelling gravelly, reductive mineral edge.

The wine is made using a semi-carbonic method, with the fruit hand-destemmed into open-top fermenters and covered to allow some carbonic action for a few days. We then use some gentle hand pigeage, but only towards the very end of fermentation. The wine was basket pressed to seasoned barrels, where it rested for 10 months before being gravity-racked and bottled.

Each vintage, this wine represents our pursuit of the purest and most transparent expression of our vineyard. It is intentionally composed and restrained in its youth, gradually revealing greater detail, texture and complexity as it opens in the glass.

Organically farmed, made and bottled by us at our home in West Gippsland.
