Mandala Sands Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2024

A beautiful blend of fruit from Gruyere and Wandin in the Yarra Valley. Predominantly MV6 clone, the fruit from Wandin originates from 40 year old vines on own roots. A portion of the fruit was whole bunch fermented to improve structure and elevation of aromatics alongside whole berry open ferments gently plunged daily and pressed to a mixture of barriques and puncheons (approx. 20% new oak).

Lambrook Seed Pinot Noir 2024

Lambrook began in 2008 with two small parcels of fruit (shiraz and sauvignon blanc) and a half-crazy idea of making it into our own label wine. It was something we’d always wanted to do—we dreamed of people ordering our wines in restaurants. So, when we were offered these parcels of spectacular quality fruit, we thought… let’s just go for it! This is exceptional small batch, handcrafted, single vineyard pinot noir.

Pyramid Valley Snake's Tongue Pinot Noir 2022

This is the second release of Pyramid Valley’s Snake’s Tongue Pinot Noir from the estate’s impressive Mānatu vineyard, located in the Lowburn sub-region of Central Otago. Planted in the mid-2000s by Jean and Roger Gibson, the former Lowburn Ferry property sits on a gentle, north-facing slope in the foothills of the Pisa Ranges. A key trait of the site is its soils: loess over deep silts that have developed pedogenic lime deposits. With high pH and suitability for growing world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, these soils proved the main drawcard for winemaker Huw Kinch, viticulturist Nick Paulin and owner Steve Smith MW.  The 10.2-hectare property is home to a patchwork of Pinot Noir clones—Abel, 667, 777, 114, 115, 943, 828, 115 and clone 5—playing into Kinch’s preference for clonal mix in the vineyard and the winery. The Snake’s Tongue block is a 1.9-hectare plot in the southeast corner of the vineyard, with this release drawn from a 0.7-hectare parcel of Abel clone planted in 2007. (The remaining 1.2 hectares comprises new high-density vines—clones 828, 943 and 115—planted in 2018/2019.)

Dexter Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2023

Aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, bay leaf and thyme with subtle floral fragrance and hints of oak. It has a soft entry with mid palate fruit sweetness and lovely texture. Fine tannins and balanced acidity result in a wine with good texture and length.

Kumeu Village Pinot Noir 2023

In April 2017 we took possession of a vineyard at Rays Road in Hawkes Bay that was already planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The vineyard soil is wind-blown clay loess over limestone, so we were particularly keen to see how these varieties performed.  2018 was our first vintage from Rays Road and we were excited by the potential we saw with the Pinot Noir. The 2023 vintage was challenging and consequently we did not make any Rays Road Pinot Noir. This meant all of the Pinot Noir fruit of the fruit from Rays Road went into this Village bottling
