The Pinot is an interpretation of the elements that are idiosyncratic to specific soils, climatic conditions in that year to reflect harmony, balance and a sense of grace. A true winemaker's wine
Grape varietal & region: Her Pinot is meticulously grown in the cool Elgin Valley on a combination of deep, red shales interspersed with ferrous- rich gravel. 20 % of the blend comes from soils that consists of the Dijon 777 clone on red clay that provides structure, 30% is Dijon clone 677and 50% Dijon clone 115 on lighter shale soil with a high ferrous content that enhances fruit texture.
Taste profile: Made from carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes, the wine offers a taste profile that is both elegant and complex. Voluptuous and complex. Exudes a bright core of cranberry,
pomegranate and ripe, fresh cherry fruit. Undertones of forest floor, truffle, and earthy savoury-ness that will develop over time. Dry, tensioned and fine textured tannins provide support for this Burgundian expression.
Winemaking process: Bunches wee destemmed with 70% crushing after being hand sorted on sorting tables. The mash was cold soaked for 3 days to maximise colour extraction. Fermentation was in open top fermenters where spontaneously fermentation commenced. The skin cap was gently punched down daily into the juice to control heat distribution and tannin - flavour extraction. After primary fermentation (20 days average) was completed, the mash was pressed in a small basket press. Secondary malolactic fermentation was completed in 300Li and 225Li French coopered casks.
From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.
These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
