2021 Siwa Pinot Noir

An exquisite representation of Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, the 2021 Siwa Pinot Noir shows a vibrant crimson hue with remarkable depth. This generous wine unfolds with enticing notes of black cherry, stewed strawberry and subtle spices, complemented by hints of chocolate orange and kirsch liqueur. On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance between freshness and intensity, offering a delightful medley of dark cherry, strawberry, and savoury undertones, accented by intriguing hints of umami and forest floor. The tannins are elegantly textured, seamlessly integrating with the sweet nuances of toasty French oak. Best enjoyed within the next 2-7 years.

Winemaking and Tasting Notes

The 2021 growing season saw cooler than ‘normal’ weather conditions which gave us the opportunity to push the Siwa vineyard maturity to its absolute full potential.

We successfully harvested our Pinot Noir grapes later than any other season in recent memory. After being hand-picked from our ‘Fulford Rd’ block the batch was split in two; with 50% being whole bunch fermented, and the other half being traditionally destemmed.

After fermentation, the wine was run to new and used French hogsheads where a natural malolactic fermentation occurred.

After some 10 months on full lees in barrel, the wine was blended and bottled unfiltered in February 2022. The 2021 growing season saw cooler than ‘normal’ weather conditions which gave us the opportunity to push the Siwa vineyard maturity to its absolute full potential.
