Southern Light Vineyards - Ghostgum Pinot Noir 750ml

"Winemaking
Hand-picked and transported in a refrigerated truck to our winery in Healesville for processing after a night in the cool room. The final wine is made up of four blocks – the 115 and 777 clones were picked (22nd March) and fermented together with 10% whole bunches in the bottom of the open pot. The D2V5 (30th March) was fermented as 100% whole bunches. The MV6 (2nd April) was completely destemmed. Average time on skins was 12 days and total whole bunch appx. 60%. The pressed wine was transferred to French oak hogsheads for 10 months barrel maturation before blending and bottling in March 2023. This wine is unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting notes
Deep, vibrant cherry red in colour - a sign of the intense fruit concentration from such a lowyielding vintage. It is highly perfumed Pinot Noir with notes of morello cherry, thyme, blood plum, clove, and tahini, with lively whole-bunch aromas weaving their way through. It has a fresh, bright palate where the acidity, tannin and fruit dance together. Flavours of pomegranate, fresh beetroot, and wet slate slowly unfurl as the wine opens up." - Southern Light Vineyards
