The Mawson Road Vineyard in Lenswood has a steep south-westerly aspect and sits at an elevation of 560m at its highest point. It’s planted to four of the classic Pinot clones (777, 114, 115, MV6) and this combination of ultra-cool site and clonal diversity offers a wine of great drive and complexity. High winter rains preceded a very cool spring. Late budburst, flowering and a cool autumn combined for a late vintage. Hand-picked on the 13th of April, wild yeast fermented in open fermenter and closed puncheon, 40% whole bunch, matured for 11 months in French oak (40% new, Francois Frères). Unfined. 1295 bottles produced.

An elegant wine with soft dark fruit and a fresh violet lift - spicy complexity on the finish, a great example of an expectational Pinot Noir.

Made from parcels of premium fruit from the oldest vines on the property, Milton Vineyard makes the Family Reserve only in exceptional years.

Smooth and savoury with rich plum and dark cherry fruit, soft spice and earthiness, a firm personality and soft seamless silkiness in the mouth with a density of flavours.

Bright deep coloured wine with an intensity of aromas of dark cherry fruit and some oak notes.

Very smooth with loads of fruit forward and clean and long with a hint of chalkiness in the tannins and savoury finish.

Red and black cherry are the hallmark fruit qualities in the 2018 Mornington Peninsula Estate Pinot Noir.

Notes of black tea, blood orange, florals, spice, earth, dried herbs and forest floor, with a lick of tiramisu.

A ruby red wine with fresh red cherries, strawberry, bramble and floral notes. The smooth, silky palate brings beautifully balanced acidity, subtle tannins and a fruity finish.

Bright cherry and plum fruit, with earthy spice and silky tannins. Elegant and cool-climate.

A classically silky Pinot with its classic mix of red fruit, spice and forest floor savouriness.

Mid-red with garnet and ruby hues and an aroma more darkly fruited than normal for Mount Riley with plenty of black cherry, plum along with hints of dried herb.

An approachable, elegant wine with soft tannins, delicious bright red fruit fl avours and great length of flavour.

Mrs Smith Pinot Noir 2017 is a lighter style of Yarra Valley Pinot- raspberry, cherry and plum balanced perfectly with the savoury spices of nutmeg and a touch of musk.

Although lighter in style, plenty of flavour in the glass!

Mt Difficulty Pinot Noir has an aromatic front palate, which displays these same characters in abundance. The mid palate is elegant and precise, and the wine flows beautifully into a textural finish, framing fine-grained tannin, fruit and acidity. 

Deep crimson in colour with a perfumed bouquet of strawberry & herbs, rich and savoury with hints of rhubarb & dark cherry, firm balanced tannins and the masterful use of French oak (20% new) add to the complexity providing a wine that will reward patient cellaring.
