Its palate features fine tannins and a graceful line of acidity, finishing with a lingering savoury mineral edge that speaks of its high-altitude terroir. Minimal whole-bunch inclusion and selective MV6 clone from a south-facing slope at 400 m elevation contribute to its clarity, precision and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked fruit was destemmed, cold-soaked, then fermented and matured in French oak (20% new) before bottling unfined and unfiltered. This single-vineyard Pinot Noir comes from a site with volcanic loam soils and one of Victoria’s most challenging slopes, producing wines of power, structure and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is accessible now with moderate decanting, this vintage will reward careful cellaring through 2035.
