A fragrant, moody expression of Pinot Noir from the scrubby, untamed natural wilderness of the Nine One Six vineyard in Steels Creek, Yarra Valley. Artwork by Melbourne artist Eleanor Rieniets.

Harvested from a distinct selection of the “west” block of the Nine One Six vineyard. Gentle handling was the theme. Three separate natural ferments of varying treatments; i) 100% whole bunch, lightly treaded for complexity and structure ii) carbonic maceration for perfume and fruit/spice iii) 100% de-stemmed for fruit purity and silky tannin. After varying periods on skins ranging from 10 days to 5 weeks, each parcel was pressed to neutral puncheon and barrique barrels for maturation on gross lees for 20 months. Carefully racked directly off of lees to bottle with a small amount of sulphur in November 2022. Released May 2023.
