PINOT NOIR 2006 Our Pinot Noir comprises clones 5, 115, 667 and 777. We hand manage the fruit closely in the vineyard, removing all second set and shoulders to ensure even ripening. The grapes were handpicked in early March 2006. The juice was cold soaked in open topped fermenters for several days for maximum colour extraction, then placed into new (50%) and seasoned French oak barrels and aged for 12 months. Garnet in colour, this Pinot Noir has lifted fruit aromas of baked cherries, candied violets, spicy potpourri and forest floor. Sweet flavours of morello cherries, plums, red currant, tea and mushroom are carried through to a complex and lengthy finish. Supple tannins, soft oak and beautiful fruit have created a complex and elegant Pinot Noir which will cellar well for 6 – 8 years.
