Yarra Yering Waterloo Pinot Noir 2024

In their words - A lifted violet and a rose petal fragrance, mixed cherry fruits and some pomegranate. The palate fleshy and flavoursome with cherry fruits restrained by a little spice and some char. A Pinot Noir with a silky and elegant fruit profile wrapped in a fine tannin blanket giving a medium bodied and gently structured wine. With an easy appeal and giving in its youth, it also has presence with a wonderful persistence.

Handpicked and chilled overnight, the bunches are carefully sorted and gently destemmed to ensure only the finest berries reach the fermenter. Twice-daily hand plunging during fermentation encourages gentle extraction, resulting in a soft fruit palate and refined tannins. After a gentle press to separate the wine from skins and seeds, it is gravity-filled into 20%  new French oak barrels and matured for 10 months  in our cool underground cellar.
