Gembrook Hill JKM Pinot Noir 2021

Following on from the 2018 inaugural release the 2021 is the second vintage of the JKM Pinot Noir. Again more of a winemaker's wine. The intention for this wine is to explore both new viticultural and wine making techniques, while still capturing the essence of the vineyard. There were two barrels of this, both matured in old french oak. The Pinot is bold, complex, aromatic with plenty of flavour.

Gembrook Hill IJM Pinot Noir 2021

In 2017 the visceral reaction to the sudden death of Ian was to produce a wine in his honour. This was a tiny batch of Pinot Noir drawn from a portion of the oldest Pinot vines on the property, and a third drawn from the newest MV6 young vines. This blend represented something of the snake eating its own tail , the Ouroboros or symbol for eternal cyclic renewal. In other words, recognition that Gembrook Hill had become a legacy vineyard for our family. The IJM, Ian James Marks, was made as a pure expression of site, matured in old French oak to allow terroir to shine through. A quintessential vigneron's wine, to reflect Ian's passion for the vineyard
