Thousand Candles Gathering Fields Pinot Noir 2024

Gathering Fields Pinot Noir 2024 is hand-picked from premium east-facing blocks that avoid the afternoon heat, fruit is hand sorted and destemmed before small-batch fermentation. Two weeks of minimal intervention—just strategic pump-overs and gentle plunging—preserves the vineyard's true character and style. Six months in older French oak adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit, resulting in a wine brimming with red fruit and cherry aromas, layered with earthy notes, dusty cherries, and pomegranate on the palate, finishing with silky tannins. Great expression of Yarra Pinot at a good price.
