Category: Wine
Sub-Category: Red wine

Onannon Red Hill Pinot Noir is from the Red Hill vineyard which the Onannon boys manage with the help of their trusty vineyard worker, Martin.

This wine shines confidence with a good balance of sweet fruit and long flavour.

The vines are 24 years old now.

It's a warm site, sitting at 90m with a northern exposure.

Onannon used both the clones that the vineyard is planted to: MV6 and 777, with the blend a 50:50 split between the two. 50% whole clusters in the ferment.

Natural malolactic conversion in barrel (25% new oak).

The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered in April 2018.
