Sourced from a number of Yarra Valley vineyards, fermented in small batches with different treatments (carbonic maceration, partial whole-bunch and whole berry fermentations utilising optical sorting). 67% of the fruit comes from the valley floor and 33% from the Upper Yarra. The final blend equates to 15% whole bunches and 6% new oak, with the residual balance matured in French oak puncheons and barriques from 2nd to 4th fill. The wine saw four months on lees in barrel prior to bottling.

Crafted from three premium Yarra Valley sites, combining both MV6 and D2V4 (pommard) Pinot Noir clones. The first parcel was hand-picked on the 20th of February, with the final parcel coming in on the 1st of April. All batches were fermented wild utilising different ratios of whole-bunches, the final blend equating to 25%. Matured in French oak puncheons (30% new), where it saw 10 months élevage prior to bottling.

Nestled among endless rolling hills and surrounded by mountains, the Yarra Valley, birthplace of Victorian wine, is a cool-climate region blessed with diverse terroir and unique microclimates. This iconic landscape, traversed by the culturally significant Yarra River, showcases a tapestry of altitudes and soil conditions, resulting in an elegant array of distinct wine profiles influenced by its southernmost location and exposure to Southern Ocean weather patterns. A vibrant expression of Yarra Valleys sub-region, Dixons Creek. The nose presents an abundance of vibrant red cherries, raspberry and wild strawberries. On the palate, there’s red and blue fruits, wet stone and a savoury spice structure from considered new French oak. Aromatic, energetic and silky with wonderful length showcasing site and region.

This is our first bottling from the bizarre 2020 vintage, which went from ridiculous to sublime. We had very small crops, early tannin ripeness and picked at low baumé. We avoided disease pressure in a very difficult year for that, and ended up with more transparency and freshness in the fruit than 2019. This year we were back to a 50:50 mix of skins and whole-bunch ferments. The skins ferment was 72 hours, with light hand-plunging every 12 hours during that time. The wine was pressed at 8 baumé to old puncheons. The whole-bunch ferment was on skins for 14 days, with carbonic maceration until some light pigeage on days 12 and 13. It was pressed to old puncheons to finish ferment. Both batches had two months in oak unsulphured. The wine was racked in early May, with minimal filtration and no finings. 40ppm of SO2 was added prior to bottling. This vintage we focused on prettiness with supporting notes of funk and bunch. There was no shortage of flavour about; itâs an intense year for that but also characterised by high natural acidity â perfect for skinsy styles, which can otherwise become a bit soapy. And of course Iâm very pleased with the colour, a perfect match for the new label⦠- Tim Shand, Punt Road
