These soils, combined with north-facing slopes and meticulous hand farming, yield Pinot Noir of concentration, spice, and firm yet fine tannin structure. Indigenous yeast fermentation, partial whole-bunch inclusion, and maturation in French oak barriques (a restrained portion new) bring complexity while preserving vineyard transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1532\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1226\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1229\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage on the Mornington Peninsula delivered cool, even ripening with excellent fruit purity and natural acidity.

The palate is medium-bodied yet powerful in shape, showing concentrated red and black fruits, savoury spice, and a firm mineral backbone. Fine, chalky tannins provide structure and drive, leading into a long, detailed, and resonant finish.
