Vineyard: Steels Gate Vineyard, Pinot Noir block. Situated at 230m above sea level, planted in the early 1980’s on an undulating, south-west facing slope on friable grey loam soils. Completely unirrigated.
Winemaking: Matured in French oak barriques, 50% new. This wine is displaying an intense depth of fruit, showing strong dark cherry, strawberry, forest floor/ briary aromas, and lifted with subtle hints of nutmeg spice and the oak very much in the background.
Tasting Notes: The palate is rich and supple, surrounded by a fine coat of silky tannins with great elegance on the finish.
Estate Grown, non irrigated, single vineyard.
