Located near Nar Nar Goon, they travel down weekly to tend the vines, ensuring the fruit meets the same exacting standards as their home block at Hoddles Creek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Pinot is generally a little fleshier and darker in profile than its Yarra Valley sibling. The winemaking is serious: the fruit is destemmed (but not crushed) and left on skins for 25 days. That extended maceration builds a savoury, structural spine that you almost never see in Pinot at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's Gippsland 101 in Pinot-land. Expect dark cherry and plum fruit, a touch of earth, and a savoury finish that keeps it food-friendly.
