Sourced from the same vineyard as the Chardonnay and also made in collaboration with Anthony, the 2021 Pinot Noir was handpicked and fermented in open pots for 12 days with 15% whole bunches before maturation over 12 months in French oak of which 10% was new.
Ray Jordan writes: "When things come together in Mornington, the results can be mighty good. This is right in the zone. Opens with a meaty and slightly gamey nuance over more primary red fruits. There’s a little toasty oak worked in, while the fine chalky tannins add some spine. The mid palate has a firmish core but the supple fruit wraps it up perfectly. A pinot of some poise."

Sourced from a prime site in Heathcote on the ancient red Cambrian soil, the fruit was harvested and crushed to a small open fermenter & hand plunged 3 times a day. After approximately 10 days of fermentation, it was gently pressed to tank then racked directly to barrel to finish malolactic fermentation and mature in seasoned French oak barriques for 18 months.
Jeni Port writes: "Unfurls slowly, as Nebbiolo can do so brilliantly, releasing lifted, generous aromatics. Rose petals, red licorice, pepper, cranberry, cherry and woodsmoke aromas mingle. Lovely balance on display in lifted fruit, savoury, earthy tannins and a long finish. Reveals assured confidence and poise with a grape that can be notoriously difficult to work with."
