Fruit for this wine was hand sorted twice & produced in two ways; one fermenter of whole berries & another of 100% whole bunches. Blended together. Matured in 300-litre hogsheads (roughly 20% new, François Frères). Ten months on lees before bottling, unfiltered. A graceful & savoury expression of Mornington Pinot Noir. Red plum, spice & dark cherry characters. Fine, supporting tannins. A lingering, perfumed finish of amaro spice.

Garagiste's only 100% whole bunch Pinot and the wine also sees a little more new oak than the rest. Expect a lifted yet restrained & complex nose with red fruits, smoke, bacon & thyme notes leading to an intense, deep palate with a core of silky Pinot fruit framed by fine, powdery tannins. A serious Pinot that is delicious now but that will equally benefit from a few years in the cellar.

Showing plushy red cherries and strawberries, followed by floral notes, forest floor and smokiness. On the palate it has velvety tannins and a perfect balance of fruit and secondary elements.

As well as having established herself firmly in Burgundy, having been named Winemaker of the Year by Frances top wine magazine, Jane Eyre also makes small parcels of top-sited pinots here in Australia. The emphasis is always on fragrance and elegance in these excellent wines.

Very bright colour; monolithic in proportion with more of everything, handled with great control; dark plum, bright cherry, allspice, game and charry oak intermingle for a heady mix of aromas; the palate relays this conviction with real depth and power on entry, and lightness returns as the flavours cascade from start to finish; needs much time, but will richly reward patience.

Made using traditional winemaking methods - handpicking, whole bunch fermentation and aged in French oak barrels. Classic Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir - fresh red berry aromas, strawberries and cream flavours and a long, refined finish of depth and complexity.

Silky and round, this superb wine shows why William Downie is rightly considered one of the best Pinot producers in the country. A terrific example of Downie's philosophy of 'time and place', this Pinot is fresh and lively, with great flavour concentration and character. After a many years in bottle the wine will develop beautifully by releasing all the complex cranberry, plum and lavender notes.
