May 2026
A composed Yarra Valley Pinot Noir with lifted red fruit, fine herbal detail, and a savoury finish. The wine is already expressive, but another two to four years should bring more truffle and tea-leaf complexity.

Release note
Fruit was hand-picked from a cool south-facing block, fermented with partial whole bunch, and matured in older French oak to preserve fragrance, line, and regional freshness.
