  pristine Pinot Noir from the famed Lowestoft Vineyard was hand picked and fermented in 1T open top fermenters, with up to 50% whole bunch inclusion. Gently hand plunged as required throughout fermentation, with gentle pressing to tank post MLF, followed by 10 months maturation in large format French oak (25% new)

  Grape, Grain and Graze Festival (Olympic Park, Homebush, Sydney): Ashy whole bunch, savoury spice, red over black fruit, slightly anonymous. Surprisingly fruit generous on the palate, textured grip, long, simple but nice. Non-intrusive alcohol warmth on finish. Interesting.
