Description

You just won't find a better value Pinot Noir in Mornington Peninsula than Yabby Lake's Red Claw Pinot Noir.

This is made in a similar vein to the Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir just in a more approachable style. It's all about bright, lively fruit, a soft, supple mid-palate and a juicy, pleasing finish which drags you back to the glass.

For mid-week Pinot Noir from a top-flight producer, there are few other examples which offer the value for money than the Red Claw.

"An appealing, plush and vibrant wine with lots of spices, some pepper complementing the sweet cherry fruit. Mid-weighted, with supple tannins and mouth-watering acidity ensuring this is not only good on its own but better with food."

    A little Mornington gem

    After re-acquainting myself with this wine recently after several years, I've stocked up with it as a go-to house Pinot which anyone would enjoy for it's lovely fresh berry fruit chacters and varietal character. Not a complex, serious PN but a pleasure to drink anytime, showing its Mornington pedigree. Very good value.

    Excellent value.

    Excellent drinking at a very reasonable price

Characteristic perfumed, fragrant aromas highlighted by cherry and red fruits, complemented by a touch of spice and underlying French oak. The long, silky palate has lovely elegance and delicacy, a plush, velvety texture and a finely poised finish.
Handpicked between 6 - 24 March, with each parcel handled separately in the winery. Hand sorted and carefully destemmed with 10% whole bunches, each parcel went into traditional open fermenters. The wine underwent three days of cold soaking to ensure even and thorough extraction. Batches were on skins for 5-7 days, after which time they were transferred into French oak (500L puncheons) for 10 months.
